Shipping from Toronto to Hanoi takes about 67 days in the tariff, and Vancouver is ten days faster. One rule matters before anything else: the tariff sets a minimum of 2 CBM for Hanoi cargo, so a few boxes are charged as two cubic metres. Smaller loads are often better sent to Haiphong, the port that serves northern Vietnam.
Vietnamese families in Toronto and Mississauga, students returning home and businesses with partners in the Red River Delta use this lane. The consignee's tax ID and the HS code must appear on the bill of lading, and packing wood needs ISPM 15 marks. A1 asks for a signed packing list and, for personal effects, the shipper's passport copy.

Delivering the cargo in Toronto
The Toronto receiving warehouse is in Mississauga, next to Pearson airport, and receives cargo from 08:00 to 16:00. This gateway usually serves the Greater Toronto Area and the rest of Ontario. A1 does not offer pickup and does not palletize or pack: bring the cargo yourself or with a trucker of your choice, boxed, crated or on pallets of ISPM 15 wood.
