由 lltx1822 Shipping Solutions and Tariff Analysis for Rocking Chairs and Sofas to Canada
Canada has a vast territory, and furniture shipping needs to balance timeliness and accessibility to the destination. Sea freight is the commonly used transportation method for large furniture like rocking chairs and sofas. If high timeliness is required, air freight can also be selected.
Canadian customs have strict quarantine requirements for imported furniture, especially wooden furniture, and a fumigation certificate and other documents are required. After sending the furniture to the consolidation company’s warehouse, the company will conduct a comprehensive inspection and reinforce the packaging of the rocking chairs and sofas to prevent damage caused by shaking during transit.
The transit time for FCL sea freight from China to major Canadian ports such as Vancouver and Toronto is 25 – 35 days. The freight for a 20 – foot container is 10000 – 15000 yuan, and for a 40 – foot container, it is 15000 – 22000 yuan. The LCL sea freight is 350 – 550 yuan per cubic meter, with a similar transit time. Air freight is 70 – 100 yuan per kilogram, with a transit time of 7 – 10 days.
When the furniture arrives at the Canadian port, customs duties need to be paid during customs clearance. The tariff rate for furniture in Canada is about 5% – 12%, depending on the type and material of the furniture. In addition, pay attention to the cost and time of inland transportation in Canada and choose an appropriate transportation method to deliver the furniture to the final destination.
