Shipping from Toronto to Chittagong is a business-cargo lane: the tariff does not accept personal effects, household goods or foodstuffs to Bangladesh. Transit is about 58 days from Toronto or Montreal, and Vancouver is ten days faster for cargo already in the West.
Ontario companies sending machinery spares to factories, distributors with buyers in Dhaka and Chattogram, and traders in the Bangladeshi community of Toronto are the typical senders. Freight is prepaid only, the consignee's Business Identification Number (BIN) is required, no package may exceed 3,000 kg, and wood packing must be ISPM 15. A1 accepts a customs value of up to CAD 2,000 per shipment. The cargo arrives at the Mississauga warehouse near Pearson airport crated or palletized by the shipper, since A1 does not pick up.
