In business since 2004, and we have the scars to prove it. We survived the Great Recession of 2008 and political unrest in a couple of Caribbean ports. CentEx Cargo remained efficient and functional during the pandemic. We’ve learned to work remotely, generating quotes and booking numbers while giving continued support to truckers and port employees deemed essential workers. As a result, we were able to expand and solidify the logistics infrastructure that’s available to us, our suppliers, and customers. We’re now part of a stronger ecosystem that has the capability of surviving the next crisis. We’ve been dealing with congestion in the port of Los Angeles in California and the port of New York/New Jersey, which causes severe delays in the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) given to the indivual shipper and consignee. In every instance, management instructed the entire hybrid team and in-person staff to tell the truth to customers. Caribbean Shipping needs a team like ours: a team who knows how to raise the bar and take its responsibilities seriously. A team that’s reliable and delivers to customers even when things appear impossible. A strategic inflection point or competition? Of all the changes in the forces of competition, the most difficult one to deal with, is when one of the forces becomes so strong; I mean by a ’10X’ factor, that it transforms the very essence of how business is conducted in this industry (e.g., Covid-19 or choosing the transport of full truck loads and drayage of containers over residential pickups). This is one of the main reasons why we stopped worrying about the competition. CentEx Cargo/STG Logistics stays ahead of the market and listens to its customers. Our LCL Export team is proactive and ready to take Caribbean shipping to the next level.

LCL Export Reps can answer on WhatsApp (7708644871) over 70% of potential customers’ Frequently Asked Questions about shipping to the Caribbean.

A retail shipper and/or shipping clerk needs to know the commodity of each shipment. Commodities vary from household goods, generators, furniture, refrigerators, microwave ovens, other home appliances, and electronics such as televisions, radios, computers, and cell phones & accessories. Contraband of any kind – e.g., firearms & ammunition, liquors, illegal drugs, and tobacco – are prohibited by law.

Shipping barrels of personal effects from anywhere in the US to the Caribbean can be a labor of love. Consequently, we all have a responsibility to keep everything above board. The commodity of choice when shipping to the Caribbean Islands is for the most part household goods. Household goods range from non-perishable food items, clothes, shoes, to home decor products. Lots of retail shipping companies with their freightforwarders, freight brokers, and customs brokers, offer customers the right logistics infrastructure that makes it possible for them to stay in touch with loved ones in their country of origin by shipping an array of items as personal cargo. Americans, on the other hand, use that same structure to build and maintain relationships with friends, non-profit organizations, business associates, and colleagues in the Caribbean. Most individual customers opted out of doing an Export Declaration (Export Dec) of their shipment because it means an additional charge to the costs of international shipping. An HS Code is mandatory in many instances for 2 reasons: 1) It tells the shipper and customs, these are items with no export restrictions; 2) It’s another way to describe the contents of each barrel without an Export Dec and hence facilitate the inspection of any shipment by customs agents.

It is crucial at this juncture to address the elephant in the room – i.e., human trafficking. Having human cargo on board of any vessels is a serious and severe violation of international laws. Human trafficking is unequivocally a crime against humanity. Therefore, all governments on this planet should do their parts in prosecuting human traffickers to the full extent of the law.
