  Update On Next  Sailing:

Voyage 98 will be loading in Houston on the 8th through 10th of July. However, it will not sail until the 18th of July, due a required 72 hour US Customs check on a vehicle which is being loaded. This type of delay occurs when any type of titled vehicle is being shipped, and does not happen on every shipment. Thank you for your patience.

 

Voyage 99 is expected to be loaded on the 12th August. As always, this is tentative and hinges on our cargo volume.

 Check here often to see the latest schedule.

News
  Due to the ever changing requirements of shipping, we must now charge a 1% insurance surcharge for the value of your items you are sending. This is a requirement for us, and apologize for the additional charge incurred.

                   

Dedicated Loads

 Sterling Freight has weekly scheduled sailings to and from Belize for dedicated container loads. Usually, within 7 days your container is moving on the water once it is delivered to the port. Dedicated containers are not subject to our LCL schedule, which means less time in transit.

US Customs and Border Patrol regulations (post 9/11) are in effect, so advance notice must be given, as well as all documentation must be submitted before the loading of your container to the ship. In order for us to file properly, please give us advance notice on your needs, and we can proceed to avoid any unwanted delays.

Licensed vehicles (trucks, cars, motorcycles, etc...) require a 72 hour security check through US Customs when they are being exported to Belize. Additionally, Belize Customs requires an additional security check on new vehicles (up to 5 years old) entering the country, so please contact us if this concerns your shipment.

Certain articles entering Belize also need permits, or certification which we will file on your behalf. Upon receipt of your packing lists and invoices, we will advise if this is applicable to your goods.

Simply put, the more information you provide us, the less chance of delays or additional charges.
