CFR
Cost and Freight specify that the seller will make all the arrangements to deliver the goods to the buyer and will pay for the freight costs. The seller also has to provide the buyer with all the necessary documents for customs clearance at the port of destination.

CIF
CIF stands for Cost, Insurance, and Freight. Under CIF, all shipping expense is paid for by the seller, including insurance cover.

DDP
Duty Paid Delivery requires the seller to deliver the goods to an agreed location. The seller bears responsibility for the item until it gets to that final location. The seller also covers all the costs involved.

DDU
Under Delivered Duty Unpaid, the freight cost and import duty is the responsibility of the buyer and not the seller. The buyer nears responsibility for the items as soon as they are delivered by the seller to an agreed location.

Choosing the Right Incoterm for Your Canadian Shipping

EXW (EX Works)

Under EXW, the seller is under the obligation to make the goods available at a predetermined location designated by the buyer. Once the goods arrive at the location set by the buyer, the safety of the goods becomes the sole responsibility of the buyer as the seller will have honored the terms of the contract.

FOB
FOB stands for Free On Board. Under this arrangement, the seller retains all the risks until the goods reach the final destination of the buyer. Once it does, the seller is free from any further obligation.

Type of Shipment - LCL / FCL

Less-than-Container Load (LCL)
If your cargo is small and less than 15 CBM in volume, a freight forwarder will help you ship your cargo via LCL. This allows importers to ship smaller quantities of cargo that are not large enough to make a full container load a viable option. This means that your cargo is combined with other shipments from the same destination.

When LCL shipments arrive at the port, they can be delivered by truck or courier because of their small size and relative flexibility. lCL uses CBM (cubic meters) as the unit of measure to calculate freight rates.

Full Container Load (FCL)
FCL means that your cargo is large enough to fit into at least one container. In this case, the freight rate is calculated on a full container basis. FCL shipments will be loaded and sealed by your supplier at origin and then shipped to your final destination.

Shipping from China to Canada Cost

How Much Does it Cost to Ship from China to Canada? Generally, you should consider the following factors in estimating your shipping expenses.

· Product nature
· Shipping location
· Cargo load
· Shipping method

Expect that sensitive goods will cost much more than normal merchandise to ship as there are many precautionary measures to employ to ensure that they won't get damaged. Weigh your budget and see how many products you can ship. Also, take note that more distant shipping locations incur steeper prices.

Specifically, shipping cost from china to canada is depend on several factors :

· Port of Loading in China and Port of Discharge in Canada
· The international shipping services : FCL, LCL, Air or courier.
· Shipment volume and gross weight.

How Long Does Sea Freight Take from China to Canada?

Shipping from China to Canada can take between 14-37 days.

How long your shipment will take depends on a number of factors, including
- the port of origin in China.
- Any export requirements in China
- Whether you have an FCL or LCL shipment
- The port of destination in Canada.
- Any import requirements and tariffs in Canada
- and whether your shipment is door-to-door port-to-port
That said, we've created a handy chart to give you a general idea of how long it will take to ship your goods by sea between China and Canada.

ETDs and ETAs are subject to change at any time and they can never be guaranteed by your sea carrier, and it can take up to 7 days for your cargo to be loaded at the loading port. Sea transportation is a slow mode of transportation, and you need to do your planning in advance and have generous margins for the possible delays. Besides, Chinese manufacturers don't stock any products; the products are made to order. In other words, if you need your goods to be ready for the Christmas season, you should plan ahead and place your order in August or earlier. We would recommend that you should place an order with at least 3 months in advance.

Do you have any questions about consolidating your goods or would you like a quote for your FCL Shipping?

Sea Shipping from China to Canada - Freight Forwarding Services

Ocean freight is the primary mode of transportation for global import and export operations. The advantages of low prices, large volume loads, and full container load (FCL) or consolidation load (LCL) options make ocean freight the preferred choice for most Canadian importers.

Ocean freight, like any other mode of transportation, has its pros and cons - you can ship large volumes at once, but it can take a long time for the goods to reach their destination. Another advantage is the diversity of goods you can ship. All this makes sea freight the most popular and most used mode of transportation.

Planning ahead and allowing enough time for the entire shipping process will make ocean freight your first choice. Just like air or ground shipping, you must handle all the paperwork involved in the shipping process, including customs clearance and delivery of the goods until they arrive at your warehouse or facility. Door-to-door service is very popular in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, where you simply pay the freight and wait for your goods to arrive at your address.

Ocean freight is an economical way to ship and the best way to handle large shipments.

Shipping Ports in China
Often, your supplier or freight forwarder will tell you which port is the best port to consider when exporting goods from China to Canada. They base this on your location, transit time, cost, ease of customs clearance, and any other agreements you have made with them. However, if you want to choose your own port, you should consider these essential elements that contribute to a successful shipment: cost, location, and transit time.

Remember, however, that your supplier's geographical location does not need much attention, because no matter where he is in China, your shipment will not be too far from one of the following ports.
These are the largest and most productive ports in the world, ready to move your cargo from China to Canada.

Port of Shanghai (port code: CNSHA) - the busiest port in the world; it opened for international trade in 1842, but dates back to the 6th century, with 42 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of trade in 2018.

Port of Ningbo (port code: CNNGB) - Over 26 million TEUs shipped in 2018, with access to more than 600 ports in more than 100 countries.

Port of Shenzhen (port code: CNSZX) - Over 27 million TEUs shipped in 2018, including multiple port terminals in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

Other ports include Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port, Xiamen Port, Hong Kong Port, and Guangzhou Port.

Major shipping ports in Canada
These are the major ports for imports to Canada.

- Port of Vancouver (Port Code: CAVAN) - the largest and busiest port in Canada
- Port of Montreal (port code: CAMTR)
- Port of Prince Rupert (port code: CAPRR)
- Port of Saint John (Port Code: CASJB)
- Halifax Port Authority/Port of Halifax (Port Code: CAHAL)
- Port of Nanaimo (Port Code: CANNO)
- Port of Toronto (Port Code: CATOR)

Cost is usually the main deciding factor for most businesses, and different logistics methods can make a big difference in terms of capital and transit time. Therefore, choosing the most cost effective option is the key to success.

Shipping route from China to Canada

There are two main shipping routes vessels all through to connect Canada from China. They are the Pacific route and the Atlantic route. For the Pacific route, the vessel sets sail from any of the seaports from the East of China and sails off the coast of Japan to connect the West of Canada and the US.

As for the Atlantic route, the vessel will sail through the South China Sea to connect the Indian Ocean. From the Indian Ocean, it will either sail for the Mediterranean Sea through the Arabian Peninsula to connect Europe or its sails for the Cape of Good Hope to the South of Africa. Either of these two routes can be taken to connect the Atlantic Ocean. From the Atlantic, the voyage will be concluded when the ship arrives on the East Coast of Canada.

DDP Shipping from China to Canada

Shipping your goods with DDP is very flexible, it saves time and money by reducing shipping costs and freeing you from having to worry about taxes. DDP shipping from China to Canada can be done in several different ways: by sea, by air.

DDP stands for "Duty Paid Delivery". This means that the seller pays all costs associated with the delivery of your goods. This includes shipping and insurance costs. This is in stark contrast to FOB (free on board), which means you pay everything until a certain point in time. After that, the buyer takes over and must pay the remaining fees.

This is a very popular method of shipping goods between Canada and China and is used by businesses from all walks of life.

Goods need to be cleared in China before being exported. They will be delivered to our warehouse in Shenzhen, or you can designate us to pick up from your China factory. In Canada, we use our business partners as importers for import declarations, so VAT and EORI are not required. We manage all customs clearance procedures from China and Canada.

Last mile delivery will be arranged by courier companies such as UPS, DHL, etc.

Whether DAP or DDP, door-to-door delivery options generally fall into two categories: truck delivery and courier delivery.

Trucking is delivered by truck from the origin station to your doorstep. Trucking is the most common method and the shipping time will take about 1 to 2 days. This method is cheaper than courier service, but more expensive than ground service.

DDP shipping is best for Amazon FBA shipping, business addresses, private addresses.
