  🏢 Bonded Warehouses in Suriname

  📍 Paramaribo (Inland Customs Zone) – central hub for bonded storage, customs clearance, and distribution of vehicles, machinery, and commercial cargo throughout Suriname.

🛳️ East Coast USA (Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah → Paramaribo): 10–14 days

🛳️ Gulf Coast USA (Houston, New Orleans → Paramaribo): 12–16 days

🛳️ West Coast USA (Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle → Paramaribo): 18–25 days

⚠️ Transit times are approximate and may vary depending on the shipping line, chosen route, seasonal conditions, and whether you select RoRo, Lo/Lo, or container shipping.

👉 Fastest Route: Shipping from the U.S. East Coast to Paramaribo typically takes 10–14 days, making it the most efficient option for vehicles, machinery, and containerized cargo bound for Suriname.

🚗 Ro/Ro (Roll-On/Roll-Off)

Your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel and secured inside a weather-protected cargo deck. This option is ideal for operable cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, buses, and machinery, offering a fast and cost-effective solution to Suriname’s main port — Paramaribo.

📦 Container Shipping

Best for non-running vehicles, motorcycles, golf carts, boats, or high-value cars. Containers are available in 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft sizes, with shared container options (LCL) to lower costs or full container loads (FCL) for maximum security.

This method provides extra protection against weather, theft, and damage, making it the preferred choice for luxury, classic, or collector vehicles, as well as household goods and commercial cargo.
