CLX Logistics Bahamas Ltd. is a 100% Bahamian-owned full-service freight forwarder, customs broker, ship agent, and last-mile operator. We move domestic and international cargo door-to-door — LCL and FCL — and run consolidation, customs entry, and final-mile delivery in-house so a single team owns your shipment end to end.
Our US warehouse presence in Pompano Beach, Florida (via Nativo Logistics) builds your FCL or consolidates your LCL, while our 4,000 sq ft Nassau warehouse at Verizon Business Park handles receiving, destuffing, and putaway. Because CLX uses its own chassis, in-house trucking, and own brokerage on all standard work, there are fewer hand-offs and fewer points of failure between Florida and your final destination.
What's included
- US-side consolidation at Pompano Beach — pallet consolidation with shrink-wrap and label, and full FCL build from LCL freight
- Ocean carriage via the Antillean Line, for which CLX is the exclusive Bahamas ship agent, plus appointed partner lines
- Mandatory documentation release on every shipment, prepaid or collect, issued against cleared funds and an original or telex-released BOL
- Customs entry and clearance handled by CLX's own brokerage, tiered by US or non-US origin
- In-house drayage and last-mile delivery on the CLX fleet — trailer head with 40ft chassis, the International truck with piggyback forklift, and the Fuso for LCL and pallet work
- Inter-island Transire preparation for cargo onward to the Family Islands

Freight Forwarding — common questions
Do you handle the whole move door-to-door, or do I need my own broker and trucker?
The whole move. CLX consolidates at our Pompano Beach, FL warehouse, carries ocean freight via the Antillean Line (we hold the exclusive Bahamas ship agency), clears customs through our own brokerage, and delivers on our own fleet. Standard work runs on CLX chassis, in-house trucking, and in-house brokerage — one team owns your shipment end to end.
What does a small LCL shipment from Florida cost?
US-side LCL consolidation is $120.00 USD per cbm (minimum 1 cbm) or $45.00 USD per pallet including shrink-wrap and label, and Nassau door delivery is $60.00 per pallet on the Fuso (max 5 pallets per run). Every shipment also carries the mandatory documentation release of $181.50 per BOL per container, VAT inclusive.
Can you get my cargo to the Family Islands?
Yes — CLX is a DHL Express Family Islands last-mile partner, and delivery is priced per island band (A/B/C) reflecting ferry frequency and distance. Inter-island cargo needs a $125.00 Transire, pallet delivery to the Family Islands is $250.00 plus ferry at cost, and container delivery is quoted per the mailboat schedule.
How much is customs brokerage, and does the cargo's origin matter?
It matters — brokerage is tiered by origin: $75.00 for the first line plus $10.00 per additional line on US-origin cargo, and $125.00 first line for non-US origin (Europe, China, UK, other). Duties, VAT, and levies pass through at cost, and if CLX advances duty on your behalf a 3% disbursement fee applies, minimum $25.00.
How long is my quote valid, and how do I pay?
Quotations are valid for 30 days from issue, subject to fuel adjustment. Payment is by Charge Anywhere, Fygaro, or bank wire, with documents released only against cleared funds. Account clients can apply for Net 30 credit terms, and consistent volume may qualify for tiered discounts of 5–15% on standard rates.
