Ocean freight from Canada to Hafnarfjörður, Iceland
Hafnarfjörður is a harbour town on the southwest coast of Iceland, part of the capital region and about 9 km south of Reykjavik. On A1's tariff the destination warehouse (CFS) for this lane is in Reykjavik, and the consignee arranges the short trip on to Hafnarfjörður. Allow about 20 days from Toronto or Montreal and 30 from Vancouver; via Toronto the rate is USD 7 per cubic foot, and the smallest shipment is USD 512.24.
Typical loads are household goods for returning Icelandic families, tools and materials for small trades businesses, and belongings of people moving for work. Every shipment needs a commercial invoice; personal effects go on carrier approval with a signed packing list and the owner's passport copy. Pickup at the CFS or local trucking is billed outside A1's price, as are customs, duties and taxes in Iceland. A1 does not palletize, so deliver the cargo to our Canadian warehouse on heat-treated ISPM 15 pallets, and the carrier confirms destination charges before payment.
How a shipment to Hafnarfjörður works
Hafnarfjörður is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Reykjavik about 9 km (straight line) from Hafnarfjörður: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Reykjavik. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Hafnarfjörður with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
