Our Shipping Process

Here’s what to expect when shipping with VSI - from loading in Florida, to port verification in Haiti, to warehouse pickup or coordinated delivery.

Step-by-Step: Tampa → Miami → Cap-Haïtien

Our process is designed to keep shipping organized and transparent, with required inspections handled at the port in Haiti.

  • 1) Loading in Tampa
    Your items are loaded into a shipping container in the Tampa area as part of our scheduled container load.
  • 2) Container Ships from Miami
    Once loaded, containers move to the port and ship out from Miami to Haiti.
  • 3) Arrival in Cap-Haïtien & Registration
    When the container reaches Cap-Haïtien, it is received and registered at the port.
  • 4) Port Verification & Inspection
    The container goes through verification. Some boxes may be opened for inspection. Any items that violate policy may be confiscated by port verification leadership. (This process is controlled by port/customs authorities.)
  • 5) Warehouse Delivery
    After verification, the container is delivered to our warehouse where shipments are organized for pickup or delivery coordination.
  • 6) Pickup or Coordinated Delivery
    Customers can pick up items at the warehouse, or we coordinate delivery using trusted third-party local drivers. Delivery coverage spans from Cap-Haïtien to Port-au-Prince (by city).
