Freight to Belo Horizonte via Rio de Janeiro
Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, is an inland city about 341 km in a straight line north of Rio de Janeiro, where A1's rate ends at the destination CFS. Toronto and Montreal both take about 47 days and Vancouver about 70; Toronto is the cheapest gateway. You pay USD 9 per cubic foot, with a minimum of USD 611.78.
The BR-040 highway connects Rio and Belo Horizonte, and the consignee books that onward truck at their own cost; Brazilian customs, duties and taxes are also outside our price. Carrier conditions include a commercial invoice, an original bill of lading, and weight and cubic measurement that agree with the dock receipt. Mineiro families moving back from Canada can ship personal effects subject to carrier approval, with a signed packing list and a copy of the passport. A1 has no pickup or packing service; cargo arrives at our warehouse on heat-treated ISPM 15 pallets or crates. The carrier confirms Rio destination charges before you pay.
How a shipment to Belo Horizonte works
Belo Horizonte is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Rio De Janeiro about 341 km (straight line) from Belo Horizonte: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Rio De Janeiro. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Belo Horizonte with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
