Ocean freight from Canada to Beau Bassin-Rose Hill
Beau Bassin-Rose Hill, a twin town just inland from the Mauritian capital, is about 9 km in a straight line from the Port Louis destination warehouse. A1 quotes the ocean leg from Canada to that CFS; the short onward trip is handled by the consignee, either by collecting in person or through a local trucker, and duties and taxes are extra. All three gateways take about 55 days, and Vancouver tends to be cheapest at around USD 6 per cubic foot with a USD 476.92 minimum.
Because the warehouse is so close, many consignees simply collect with a van once the goods are released. Shipments are mostly household goods of returning residents and stock for small retailers. Packaging must comply with ISPM 15, which is the carrier's only listed condition for Mauritius. Personal effects require carrier approval and a signed packing list with a passport copy. Bring the palletized or crated goods to our Canadian warehouse yourself, with a total customs value of no more than CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Beau Bassin-Rose Hill works
Beau Bassin-Rose Hill is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Port Louis about 9 km (straight line) from Beau Bassin-Rose Hill: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Port Louis. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Beau Bassin-Rose Hill with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
