Sending cargo from Canada to Ar Rayyān, Qatar
Ar Rayyān is the large municipality west of Doha, and A1's rate stops at the Doha destination warehouse, about 43 km in a straight line from the town. Shipments leave our Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver warehouse; Toronto is the cheapest gateway at around USD 5 per cubic foot, with a USD 441.60 minimum. Expect roughly 65 days from Montreal and 75 from Toronto or Vancouver. The receiver collects at the Doha CFS or books a local truck to Ar Rayyān at their own cost.
The carrier sets firm conditions for Qatar: cargo must be palletized and packed to ISPM 15 rules, a certificate of origin is required, foodstuffs and chemical products are refused, and limits of 2,500 kg and 2 cubic metres apply. A war surcharge is also listed by the carrier. Personal effects for expatriate families are accepted subject to carrier approval, with a signed packing list and passport copy. Destination customs, duties and taxes are separate, and the carrier confirms those charges before you pay.
How a shipment to Ar Rayyān works
Ar Rayyān is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Doha about 43 km (straight line) from Ar Rayyān: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Doha. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Ar Rayyān with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
