Freight to Iztapalapa, Mexico City
Iztapalapa is a large borough on the eastern side of Mexico City, inland on the central plateau. A1 prices cargo to the destination warehouse at Veracruz on the Gulf coast, roughly 255 km away in a straight line, and the climb from the port up to the capital is a separate leg. The rate is USD 8 per cubic foot with a USD 578.11 minimum, and Toronto is the cheapest gateway. Transit to Veracruz runs about 45 days from Montreal, 50 from Toronto and 59 from Vancouver.
Mexicans returning home with household goods, and small businesses restocking shops in the east of the city, use this route. Household items go on carrier approval with a signed packing list and a copy of the shipper's passport. Keep the declared customs value of the whole shipment at or below CAD 2,000. The consignee or a hired broker collects at the Veracruz CFS and books a truck along the highway to Mexico City; that trucking, destination customs, duties and taxes sit outside A1's price, and the carrier confirms destination charges before you pay.
How a shipment to Iztapalapa works
Iztapalapa is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Veracruz about 255 km (straight line) from Iztapalapa: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Veracruz. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Iztapalapa with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
