Economy Sea Freight to Canada
We offer Economy Container Sea Freight services for shipments to Canada. This is where your goods are loaded into a shared container with other peoples goods and you only pay for the space your goods take up. With a shared container it is not always possible to advise shipping dates as they are subject to a container being filled with other peoples goods. We can provide you with an estimated door to door transit time based on historic activity. However, your shipment may arrive sooner or later depending on the level of market demand to your destination at the time.
Canadian Customs Regulations
When moving goods to Canada it is important to know that your goods must be cleared for entry by the Canadian Border Services Agency. We will undertake this formality on your behalf as part of our service. You are required to provide a copy of your passport and visas. You will also need to complete a Personal Effects Accounting Document (B4) and present it to Border Services at your first point of entry to Canada together with your inventory of goods being shipped.
As a general rule immigrants and former residents are able to import your used personal effects and household goods into Canada without having to pay any customs duty and tax provided you have owned and used your goods for 6 months. Former residents must have also lived outside of Canada for 12 months before returning.
If you include any alcohol and tobacco products in your shipment you will have to pay import duty and tax on them. There are also very tight controls around the restricted and prohibited goods such as drugs, firearms, weapons, food, articles manufactured from wildlife. Please be aware that some goods are completely banned while others may require special permits or licences for importation.
It is important to be fully aware of the requirements, thus it is essential to visit Canadian Border Services Agency to obtain up to date detailed information.
