Customs broker Berry Islands Bahamas

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a customs broker to facilitate a shipment of some parts from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does the marina not have a recommendation?

Are you having them flown directly in to Great Harbor? Or through Nassau or Freeport?

Thanks, all. I did end up asking Maker's Air (rec'd by marina) for a broker rec and they gave me a lady named Gisele Knowles, who supposedly does all the islands. Fingers crossed.

It's a good decision to use a broker. Customs regulations are complex and obscure everywhere, and the Bahamas are no exception. It's not cheap, but way worth it. It's kind of ironic, the better the broker does their job, the more you wonder why you thought you ever needed them!
