Shipping from Canada to Kópavogur, Iceland
Kópavogur is Iceland's second-largest municipality, directly south of Reykjavik in the capital region, about 4 km away. A1 quotes this lane to the destination warehouse (CFS) in Reykjavik, so the final short drive is the consignee's to organise. Transit is about 20 days from Toronto or Montreal and 30 from Vancouver, with Toronto the cheaper gateway at USD 7 per cubic foot. The smallest shipment is USD 512.24.
Senders include Icelanders moving back from Canada, Canadians relocating for work and small businesses importing goods. A commercial invoice is required, and household goods may go subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Collecting the cargo at the Reykjavik CFS, or a local delivery to Kópavogur, is not part of A1's price, and Icelandic customs, duties and taxes are paid separately. Wooden pallets and crates must meet ISPM 15, and the total customs value is limited to CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Kópavogur works
Kópavogur is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Reykjavik about 4 km (straight line) from Kópavogur: 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 Kópavogur with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
