Mid-Volume Commercial

Commercial Freight — Mid Volume

At 100 KG, you're in the commercial freight category — large enough for competitive rates but still within the range where air freight often beats sea freight on cost per delivery cycle. This weight is common for electronics, clothing, and general merchandise restocking shipments going to Canada.

  • Air freight channels offer volume discounts from 100 KG
  • Sea freight LCL (shared container) becomes viable above 150 KG
  • Most channels require volumetric weight check (L×W×H÷6000)
  • Rail freight viable for European destinations at this weight

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship from China to Canada?

Current rates for shipping from China to Canada start at USD 1.61/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 161, 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).

What duties and taxes apply when importing into Canada?

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.

How long does shipping from China to Canada take?

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.

In what currency are rates to Canada quoted and paid?

Freight to Canada is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is CAD. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.

Which ports and airports handle China shipments to Canada?

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.

Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG to Canada?

For 100 KG to Canada, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 3–6 days dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.

What is DDP shipping to Canada and what does it include?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Canada means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and last-mile delivery to your door. The CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.

What documents are required for customs clearance in Canada?

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
