This guide breaks it all down in plain English. You’ll find straightforward advice on how shipping from Canada to Grenada works, what you can and can’t send, the different ways to ship, and how to keep costs under control. Whether you’re shipping a barrel, a car, or a container full of belongings, you’ll find practical tips here.
Why Experience Matters
Not all shipping companies are the same, especially when it comes to sending things from Canada to Grenada. Experience counts for a lot. PJP Exporting has been doing this since the 80s. That means you get support from a family-run business that understands what matters to customers: reliability, clear answers, and a smooth process from start to finish.
People keep coming back to PJP because they know the process inside and out. If you’ve never shipped internationally before, having a team who can guide you, step by step, takes the stress out of things.
What Can You Ship?
One of the first things people ask is, “Can I send this?” Most everyday items are allowed, but there are exceptions. Grenada has rules about what’s permitted. This guide to prohibited items is a good place to start. Double-check before you pack!
Common items people ship:
- Household goods and personal effects
- Barrels filled with food, clothes, and essentials
- Vehicles, motorcycles, or parts
- Tools, appliances, furniture
- Even heavy equipment for construction or business
The most important thing? Make sure you know what’s allowed. Shipping something that’s prohibited can mean your package gets stuck—or worse, seized.

How to Get Ready for Your Shipment
A little preparation goes a long way. Start by packing carefully. Use strong boxes or barrels, and make sure everything is well-cushioned. Label everything with your name and the destination.
