Commercial cargo to Dhaka via Chittagong
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is about 217 km in a straight line from Chittagong, the port where A1's rate ends at the destination CFS. Vancouver is the cheapest and fastest gateway at about 48 days, while Montreal and Toronto both take about 58. The price is USD 5 per cubic foot, and the smallest shipment is USD 441.60.
Only commercial cargo can go: personal effects, household goods and foodstuffs are not accepted on this lane. The consignee must hold a Business Identification Number (BIN), freight must be prepaid, and no single package may exceed 3,000 kg. Dhaka importers usually arrange onward trucking or rail along the Dhaka–Chittagong corridor themselves, and that leg, like local duties and clearance, is outside A1's price. Deliver the goods to our warehouse ready for export on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets or crates, since we do not pick up or pack. The total customs value of a shipment may not exceed CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Dhaka works
Dhaka is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Chittagong about 217 km (straight line) from Dhaka: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Chittagong. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Dhaka with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
