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

What Affects the Shipping Cost to Canada?

  • Actual vs. volumetric weight — carriers charge whichever is higher (L×W×H÷6000 for air)
  • Cargo type surcharge — batteries, liquids, and branded goods carry additional fees
  • Peak season surcharges — Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (Oct) add 15–30%
  • Destination area — Canada may have remote area surcharges for certain postal codes
  • Declared value — customs duties are calculated on CIF value

Customs & Documentation for Canada

  • De minimis threshold — shipments below local tax threshold may clear duty-free
  • Required documents: commercial invoice, packing list, and accurate HS codes
  • DDP service includes all import duties — you pay one total price with no surprises
  • Battery and liquid goods require additional certification documents
  • FDA Prior Notice required for food, supplements, and certain health products
  • FCC certification required for electronic devices with radio frequency

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 1.59/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 159, 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.

What is the minimum shipment size for shipping to Canada?

Minimums to Canada vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Canada.

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.

Can I track my shipment from China to Canada?

Yes. Air shipments to Canada get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and final delivery.

What certifications are required to import into Canada?

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.

How is chargeable weight calculated for Canada shipments?

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 100 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.

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.
