Shipping to Cali, Colombia
Cali, the capital of Valle del Cauca in southwest Colombia, is about 788 km in a straight line from Cartagena on the Caribbean coast. A1's price covers Canada to the Cartagena CFS: USD 8 per cubic foot, smallest shipment USD 547.56, about 30 days from Toronto, 35 from Montreal and 42 from Vancouver.
Moving the goods from Cartagena down through the country to Cali is the consignee's job, usually by booking a long-distance truck, and that cost is outside A1's rate together with duties and taxes. The carrier accepts freight prepaid only. Caleño families returning from Canada often send household goods and personal effects, accepted subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a copy of the passport. Small shops ordering Canadian products also use the lane. A1 has no pickup or packing service; deliver your crates or pallets of heat-treated ISPM 15 wood to the warehouse. Total customs value must stay within CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Cali works
Cali is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Cartagena about 788 km (straight line) from Cali: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Cartagena. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Cali with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
