Shipping commercial goods to Hawalli, Kuwait
Hawalli is a busy commercial and residential district next to Kuwait City, about 12 km in a straight line from the Kuwait warehouse that receives our LCL cargo. The quote takes your shipment by sea from Vancouver, the only gateway for this destination, to that CFS in about 75 days. Collection and the short local delivery to Hawalli are handled by the consignee and are not included, nor are customs duties and taxes. The rate is around USD 25 per cubic foot, and the minimum is USD 1,148.00.
Personal effects are not accepted to Kuwait, so this lane is for commercial cargo only, such as retail stock, spare parts or display materials for shops in the district. A commercial invoice that matches the packing makes clearance easier for the consignee. Pack on ISPM 15 heat-treated wood and deliver the goods to our warehouse already palletized. Keep the declared value at CAD 2,000 or less, and expect the carrier to confirm destination charges before payment is requested.
How a shipment to Ḩawallī works
Ḩawallī is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Kuwait about 12 km (straight line) from Ḩawallī: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Kuwait. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Ḩawallī with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
