Shipping to Bandar Seri Begawan via Muara
Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei, is about 21 km from the port of Muara, where A1's rate ends at the destination warehouse. Vancouver is the cheapest and fastest gateway at about 47 days; Montreal and Toronto take about 57.
The consignee usually collects at Muara or hires a local truck for the short drive into the capital; that delivery and Bruneian duties and taxes are outside A1's price. Freight must be prepaid, and Kuala Belait cargo is also routed via Muara. Bruneians finishing studies in Canada often send home books, clothes and household items; personal effects travel subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Pack on heat-treated ISPM 15 pallets or crates and bring them to our warehouse yourself, as A1 does not pick up. Total customs value may be up to CAD 2,000.
