Commercial cargo from Canada to Al Ahmadi, Kuwait
Al Ahmadi, the oil-industry town south of Kuwait City, is served through the destination CFS in Kuwait, about 33 km away in a straight line. Only Vancouver offers this service on our tariff, with a transit of about 75 days and a rate near USD 25 per cubic foot; the smallest shipment costs USD 1,148.00. The price covers the ocean leg to the Kuwait warehouse. Collecting there or trucking down to Al Ahmadi, plus Kuwaiti duties and taxes, are arranged and paid separately.
The carrier accepts no personal effects to Kuwait, so only commercial cargo can go there: equipment parts, tools, samples or trade goods for a business. Because of the long transit, this route suits shipments that are not urgent. Prepare the pallets or crates on heat-treated ISPM 15 wood and bring them to the Vancouver-routed warehouse yourself, since we do not collect or palletize. The total customs value must not exceed CAD 2,000, and any destination charges are confirmed by the carrier before you pay.
How a shipment to Al Aḩmadī works
Al Aḩmadī is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Kuwait about 33 km (straight line) from Al Aḩmadī: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Kuwait. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Al Aḩmadī with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
