One of the biggest challenges when relocating to or from St. Kitts or Nevis is transporting your car, furniture and other large household items, pets and more, safely over land and sea. To start, research and talk extensively with shipping companies to determine which can operate within your budget and time frame. Companies such as CARIBTRANS and Tropical provide full shipping services at decent prices, from most locations in the U.S.
Sell or ship?
Some people decide it's more economical to sell certain items than it is to ship them - such as older cars valued at less than a thousand dollars. That is often a wise choice, but if your household items are in good condition, it makes sense to bring them with you. In St. Kitts & Nevis you'll find higher costs for manufactured goods, and your choice of replacement merchandise may be limited.

Time frame:
Shipping a car or container of household items generally takes three to four weeks. Cars are shipped in individual containers, but many sea carriers will allow partial containers of household goods (a three-bedroom home will likely fill a 24-foot container). Check with your shipping company or an authorized trucking company; they may be able to deliver the container to your house for packing, then retrieve it for delivery to the docks.
