These are the major ports in Canada. In fact, although the overall logistics of the Canadian line sea freight time is not as good as it should be, air freight prices make it more difficult to afford, so most sellers friends will still choose sea freight. Advance stocking, inventory protection, is a more appropriate choice when the supply chain is tight.
