Ocean freight to Al Muharraq, Bahrain
Al Muharraq is the island city joined by causeways to Manama, only about 4 km from the CFS that A1's Bahrain rate serves. Freight moves from Canada to that warehouse at USD 5 per cubic foot, smallest shipment USD 441.60. Montreal is the quickest and cheapest gateway at about 60 days; Toronto takes about 65 and Vancouver about 70.
Because the distance is so short, many consignees simply collect the cargo themselves with a van, or ask a local mover for the few kilometres to Muharraq; that delivery is outside our price, as are Bahraini duties and taxes. The carrier lists a certificate of origin, a commercial invoice and special certificates as required, and consular fees may apply, so prepare documents early. Personal effects of expatriates leaving Canada can travel subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and passport copy. Pallets and crates must be heat-treated to ISPM 15. Total declared value stays at CAD 2,000 or less.
How a shipment to Al Muharraq works
Al Muharraq is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Bahrain about 4 km (straight line) from Al Muharraq: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Bahrain. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Al Muharraq with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
