How to buy and ship from US to Guyana

Shop online at US stores or marketplaces.
If the store doesn’t ship direct, use a package forwarder to receive at a US address, consolidate, then ship to Guyana.
In checkout or with your forwarder, choose DHL Express (fastest), USPS (economical), or a Passport lane offered by the merchant.
Prefer DDP/prepaid taxes when available (you pay at checkout; fewer delivery surprises). DHL can also bill duties/taxes to the shipper account.
Create accurate documents (commercial invoice with HS code, value & origin).
Track in one place with Track.global.

Customs, taxes & fees in Guyana

VAT: 14% on most goods (imports and local), often charged on CIF
Import duty: generally 5–20% CET bands; higher for specific categories (e.g., some agricultural goods). Final rates depend on HS code.
De minimis: A clear, official de-minimis exemption isn’t widely published. Some third-party sources quote small thresholds, but practice varies—plan for VAT and duty unless confirmed otherwise. Always use the calculator and your carrier’s landed-cost tools.

Address format in Guyana (UPU-compliant)

Mr & Ms Jones

11 Last Street

West Mc Doom

GEORGETOWN

4131519

GUYANA

Place the 7-digit postcode on the line below the locality (if available). Many addresses in everyday use omit the postcode; include clear city/region and a local phone number for couriers.

What you cannot ship (examples)

Precious metals/jewelry, lottery materials, many foodstuffs, certain biological substances, and radioactive materials are prohibited in postal channels to Guyana. Couriers may have additional restrictions. Check before you ship.

Costs & how to estimate weight

Carriers charge by actual or volumetric weight (whichever is higher).
