Reasonable transit time. The documentation handling was professional and customs clearance was smooth.

The DDP service is excellent — everything included in the quoted price. No additional fees upon arrival.
Mostly a smooth experience. There was a small delay at the origin port but the team communicated clearly and resolved it quickly.

Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.
Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.
Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.
Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.
Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.
As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).
Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.
As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.
Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incoterms® 2020.
Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.
Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.
Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes — the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.
Historical freight rates from China to Canada for 21 KG shipments. Data sourced from live carrier price feeds.
Country-specific logistics anchors for shipments arriving in Canada:
| Main sea gateways | Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal |
|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier) |
| Import tax & duty regime | GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% |
| Local currency | CAD |
| Typical port/airport dwell time | 3–6 days |
| Peak / busy season | Aug–Oct |
| Conformity & certification | ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling |
| Main air gateways | YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal) |
Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
The 21 KG range is typical for small e-commerce restock orders and initial trial shipments. Air freight is the standard choice here — it offers the best balance of cost and speed, and most DDP air channels accept shipments from 21 KG upward. This weight falls into the LCL (Less-than-Container-Load) air category.
Shipping to Canada by air or sea? Plan cartons and container loading in 3D before requesting a quote.
Check how many units truly fit per carton for this Canada shipment: the 3D packing tool computes layers, rotation, and protection gaps from your exact product size.

Open Container Planner →| Method | Transit Time | Notes |

| Express Courier | 3–7 business days | DHL/FedEx/UPS door-to-door, good option |
Current rates for shipping from China to Canada start at USD 3.84/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For 21 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 81, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% applied by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Imports into Canada are assessed by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The applicable regime is: GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18%. The duty-free / de-minimis position is CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
For regulated goods entering Canada, plan for: ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
Door-to-door transit to Canada: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
Sea freight to Canada typically routes through Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal, while air freight clears via YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal). We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 21 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Capacity to Canada tightens around Aug–Oct, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
For 21 KG to Canada, Air Freight is recommended — it gives the best speed/cost balance (5–10 business days) at this size, clearing via YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal). Sea-freight minimums make ocean uneconomical under ~50 KG.
Rates above are lane rates and apply to general cargo. Packing specification, HS classification and the clearance step that matters are all commodity-specific — these guides cover them industry by industry.
