Angeli,
Having imported items from the States to Nevis, both by mail, by air freight, and by ship through Nevis' deepwater port, I can say that bringing something in by ship is much more complicated and frought with fees than the other two modes. That's not to say that Nevis and the U.S. have the same procedures, just that shipping is a different beast, as it were.
My point is this: I can personally retrieve my shipments via mail or air freight, pay the applicable customs duties and import fees, and walk out with the item. For items coming in by ship, I cannot do that. I must hire a customs agent to handle the paper work. The transporter may or may not understand what is required. A customs agent will know, because that's what he does for a living, day in and day out.
Contact a customs agent and see what he has to say.
