Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping to Puerto Rico

Cargo makes the final leg of its journey to Puerto Rico via two modes: ocean freight or air freight. Puerto Rico ocean freight moves in two ways:

  • Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) Shipments / Consolidations
  • Full Container Load (FCL) Shipments

If your shipment is time-sensitive, you might consider using air freight to move it to or from Puerto Rico. While air freight is more expensive than ocean freight, it’s also faster. Additionally, several different service levels of air freight are available, some of which are more budget-friendly than others.

Yes, Puerto Rico is considered a U.S. port. In fact, Puerto Rico is considered part of the customs territory of the United States, unlike many of the other territories of the U.S., including Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

If you’re sending items domestically (i.e., from another U.S. location such as the mainland), you won’t need a customs form to send items to Puerto Rico. Where freight is concerned, though, you will need to provide documentation to get your shipment cleared by Hacienda. In general, that means:

  • A standard bill of lading
  • A commercial invoice
  • An Electronic Export Filing (EEI) if the declared value of any commodity shipped exceeds $2,500.

For international freight shipments headed for Puerto Rico, you will need the same kind of documentation you’d need for sending any international shipment to the U.S. – Importers who plan to move a large amount of freight to the U.S. often choose to work with a customs broker who can help assemble the correct documentation and troubleshoot any import issues. If you have any questions, our experts can point you in the right direction.

Transit time between Jacksonville and Puerto Rico is three days. More specifically:

  • Tuesday sails arrive on Friday
