Grenada is known as the Isle of Spice due to its numerous nutmeg plantations, which are so important to the economy that the nut is featured on the country's flag.
And as Grenada sits in the Caribbean Sea not far from South America, it is also a very popular winter beach holiday destination, and offers many swimming, diving, and sailing opportunities. Perhaps best of all, however, is Grand Anse Beach - three kilometres long and deemed one of the world's finest beaches.

Required Documents
Shipping packages internationally requires a lot of documentation. This
process alone can be confusing and time-consuming. So we’ve narrowed
down what documents you might need and ranked them based on likeliness of
being needed.
Document Type
When?
Details
Shipping Label / Bill of Lading
Always required
This is a label provided by the carrier (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.).
Always required because the carrier needs to know the parcel's
destination.
Commercial Invoice
Required for all non-document shipments
For all non-document shipments, you will require 3 copies of the
commercial invoice (to be included with your shipping labels). These
are for customs purposes and need to be included inside a document
pouch outside of the box.
When creating a shipment through the Secureship website, the
system will help you create this document automatically.
B13a
Required if value exceeds $2,000 per shipment or is a controlled
good
A B13a is required if your shipment exceeds $2000 CAD or is a
controlled good and is destined to a country other than the US, Puerto Rico, or the US
Virgin Islands
Canada has a preferential trade agreement with Grenada. A COO
proves that an item has been produced, manufactured or processed in
Canada.
When an item with a COO is imported into Grenada, it will
incur a reduced or zero-rated import duty.
Certificate of Insurance (COI)
Infrequently required
Shows that the shipment has been insured.
Banks may request a certificate of insurance when providing letters
of credit for the goods. Otherwise, it is generally your choice
whether to purchase insurance for the shipment.
ATA Carnet
Infrequently required
Used to avoid duties and taxes on shipments of temporary nature.
If you ship goods of temporary nature to and from a country, you
can obtain an ATA Carnet to expedite the customs clearance process
and ensure that anything of temporary nature is not charged duties
and taxes.
No specific form required, but generally includes information regarding:
The exporter, importer and transport company
Date of issue
Number of freight invoice
Type and number of packages
Contents of each package
Marks and numbers
Net weight, gross weight and measurements of each package
Prohibited & Restricted Imports
Prohibited items are not allowed to be shipped to Grenada while
restricted items may enter, but there are quantity limitations or other
rules governing their entry to the country.
Prohibited Items
Perishable foodstuffs
Black bass, and all varieties of carp
Goods intended to be used in the
practice of witchcraft
War toys
Publications considered
contrary to public interest
Sex toys
Pornographic material
Military coloured clothing
E-cigarette liquid (UPS cannot clear)
Restricted Items
Sugar
Jellies and jams
Toilet paper
Curry powder
Pasta products
Weapons, fireworks, explosives of all
types*
*Official authorisation from the Commissioner of Police required
Duty and taxes on goods shipped to Grenada are calculated using the CIF
value of the shipment, i.e. the sum of the customs value plus freight
costs plus insurance charges.
CIF Value = Customs Value + Insurance Amount + Freight Costs
By calculating the CIF value of your shipment to Grenada, you will be
able to predict the duty and taxes owed by the recipient.
Thresholds
In Grenada, most goods imported by mail of EC$20 (about $9 CAD) or
less, are exempt from duties and VAT. This is known as the threshold,
also called the de minimis value.
NOTE: Exemptions do not apply to
alcoholic beverages or tobacco products.
You can purchase insurance
through Secureship, and it is provided by the carrier that will be transporting
your shipment.
Each carrier will charge a different amount per $100 of declared
insurance. If you indicate that you need insurance for your shipment, our
system will automatically include the insurance costs for your shipment.
Insurance is great to have in case your package is accidentally lost or
damaged by the carrier. But be careful, not everything you ship is
insurable. Worse - even if your package contains items that are insurable,
if it doesn't meet the ISTA 3A packaging standard, the insurance purchased
through the carrier would not be available to you.
Here are some items that cannot be insured by the carrier:
Personal belongings
Antiques
Artwork
Liquids (including alcohol)
Televisions
Jewellery in excess of $500
Perishable goods
Glass or Ceramic
And many more items
For more information, please see the carrier's terms and conditions.
Shipping to Grenada from Canada can take between 3-5 business days
through the fastest carriers available on the Secureship platform. More
economical services, such as Canada Post, can take up to 1-2
months to complete the delivery.
