Ocean freight from Canada to Constanţa, Romania
Constanţa is Romania's port city on the Black Sea, yet on this tariff the LCL rate ends at the Bucharest warehouse, about 205 km in a straight line to the west. Goods are received at the Bucharest CFS and then trucked east, usually along the motorway linking the capital with the coast; that trucking is the consignee's job and is not part of A1's price. Toronto and Montreal departures take about 37 days and Vancouver about 47, with Toronto the cheapest at roughly USD 5 per cubic foot and USD 724.16 for the smallest shipment.
Typical consignments include personal belongings for returning residents and parts or supplies for small coastal businesses. The carrier requires a commercial invoice and approves household goods case by case; personal effects also need a signed packing list and a passport copy. Keep the customs value of the full shipment within CAD 2,000. A1 does not collect cargo, so bring it to our warehouse on heat-treated ISPM 15 wood. Romanian customs, duties and taxes are paid separately.
How a shipment to Constanţa works
Constanţa is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Bucharest about 205 km (straight line) from Constanţa: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Bucharest. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Constanţa with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
