Freight from Canada to Lusail, Qatar
Lusail is the planned city on the coast north of Doha, about 13 km from the Doha warehouse where A1's ocean price ends. Because the city is not a separate tariff point, the consignee takes delivery at the Doha CFS and either drives the goods north or hires a local carrier; that leg, plus Qatari duties, taxes and clearance, is not included. Montreal sailings take about 65 days and Toronto or Vancouver about 75, with Toronto offering the best rate, about USD 5 per cubic foot and a USD 441.60 smallest shipment.
Shipments to Lusail are often furnishings for new apartments or equipment for small companies setting up offices. Each consignment must arrive at our warehouse already on heat-treated ISPM 15 pallets, since A1 does not pick up or palletize and the carrier insists on palletized cargo. Food and chemical products are not accepted, a certificate of origin is needed, and the carrier caps loads at 2,500 kg or 2 cubic metres.
How a shipment to Lusail works
Lusail is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Doha about 13 km (straight line) from Lusail: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Doha. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Lusail with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
