Shipping from Canada to Iaşi, Romania
Iaşi is the main city of north-eastern Romania, a university centre close to the Moldovan border and about 324 km in a straight line from Bucharest. A1's ocean rate runs from Canada to the Bucharest destination warehouse; the long road leg north to Iaşi is organised by the receiver and is not in the price. Transit is about 37 days from Toronto or Montreal and 47 from Vancouver, with Toronto the cheapest gateway at about USD 5 per cubic foot and a USD 724.16 minimum.
Romanian families in Canada often send household goods home this way, and students sometimes ship books and belongings. Household goods and personal effects travel on carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy, and the carrier asks for a commercial invoice. Pack on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets or crates and drop the cargo at our warehouse yourself. Because the trip from Bucharest is long, line up a trucking company before arrival. Romanian duties, taxes and clearance are extra, confirmed by the carrier before you pay.
How a shipment to Iaşi works
Iaşi is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Bucharest about 324 km (straight line) from Iaşi: 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 Iaşi with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
