Courier charges only, US$100 declared value — freight, fuel surcharge and handling at each weight, air freight Miami → Trinidad, in USD. The Swiftbox column includes our insurance premium — the US$1 minimum on a 1 lb package, US$2 from 2 lb, either covering declared value up to US$300. Tropical's brokerage fee scales with declared value, which is why the table is stated at a single value. TTPost charges an insurance premium it does not publish, so their column is a floor. Excludes government charges (duty, OPT and VAT), which are the same whoever you ship with, and excludes account and membership fees — Tropical Express also charges a TT$150 annual membership fee, not included above. Figures come from each provider's own published rates on the date shown beside it in Sources; those rates are theirs to change, so check their sites for the current figure.
