Shipping to Banja Luka via Sarajevo
Banja Luka, the largest city of the Republika Srpska entity, is about 141 km in a straight line northwest of Sarajevo, where A1's Bosnian tariff ends at the destination CFS. Toronto and Montreal both take about 33 days, Vancouver about 43, and Montreal is the cheapest gateway. The rate is USD 7 per cubic foot; the smallest shipment costs USD 656.46.
Road distance through the hills is longer than the straight line, so plan the onward truck from Sarajevo early; the consignee books it, and it is not part of A1's price. Bosnian customs, duties and taxes are also paid at destination. Members of the Bosnian community in Canada often send household goods and gifts to Banja Luka relatives; personal effects go subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Freight must be prepaid, and a commercial invoice is required. Bring cargo to our warehouse on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets or crates. The carrier confirms Sarajevo charges before you pay.
How a shipment to Banja Luka works
Banja Luka is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Sarajevo about 141 km (straight line) from Banja Luka: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Sarajevo. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Banja Luka with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
