Shipping from Montreal to Hanoi takes about 67 days in the tariff, equal to Toronto, while Vancouver saves ten days. The key condition is a 2 CBM minimum on Hanoi cargo, so a household move or a larger business lot fits the lane far better than a handful of cartons, which usually travel more cheaply to Haiphong.
Vietnamese families in Quebec, academics moving to universities in the capital and Montreal firms supplying partners in Hanoi are the usual senders. The bill of lading must show the consignee's tax ID and the HS code of each item, and crates and pallets need ISPM 15 marks. A1 does not offer pickup; the shipper delivers the cargo to the east-end Montreal warehouse, and destination charges are paid in Canada at booking. Ask the receiver for their tax number early, so the documents are complete when the cargo is loaded.
