Special Considerations for Shipping to Guyana

Shipping to Guyana is much different than shipping to a U.S. destination. Any time you ship something internationally, there are special considerations you need to keep in mind to ensure a fast and easy shipping experience.

Here are a few things you need to remember for shipping to Guyana.

• There is certain shipping documentation you must complete—For international shipping, certain documentation must be completed before your shipment can be processed. For example, if any single commodity you’re shipping is valued at over $2,500 USD, you’ll need to complete a Shipper’s Export Declaration. Other documentation may be required depending on the type of cargo you’re shipping.
• Certain shipments may require approval or licensing—For non-standard cargo, you may need special permits or licenses before you can ship them. To ensure that your goods can be transported to Guyana without special permits, you should verify the commodity type with your shipping company.
• Guyana national holidays could alter your shipping time—Try to avoid shipping time-sensitive shipments during Guyana’s national holidays as they could cause delivery to be delayed. Guyana’s nationally-observed holidays include:

• January 1 New Year
  
• Early January Youman Nabi
• February 23 Republic Day
  
• March or April Good Friday and Easter Sunday
• May 1 Labor Day
• July 1 Caricom Day
• First Monday in August Emancipation Day
• November Divali
• December 25 Christmas Day
• December 26 Boxing Day
