Freight from Canada to Cascade, Seychelles
Cascade is a district on the east coast of Mahé, only about 2 km from the Mahé warehouse that serves as A1's destination point. The ocean rate runs from our Canadian warehouse to that CFS; the consignee completes the short trip with their own vehicle or a local driver. Freight must be prepaid. Vancouver offers the lowest rate, near USD 13 per cubic foot with USD 826.20 as the minimum, and takes about 77 days, compared with about 87 days via Toronto or Montreal.
Shipments to Cascade are usually personal belongings, appliances or furniture for homes, plus occasional goods for small enterprises. Personal effects require carrier approval, a signed packing list and a copy of the passport. The cargo must reach our warehouse already palletized or crated on ISPM 15 heat-treated wood, because A1 does not palletize. The declared value of the whole consignment should not exceed CAD 2,000. Duties, taxes and customs at destination are paid locally, after the carrier has confirmed the destination charges.
How a shipment to Cascade works
Cascade is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Mahe about 2 km (straight line) from Cascade: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Mahe. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Cascade with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
