Ocean freight to Maipú via San Antonio
Maipú is a populous commune on the western side of the Santiago metropolitan area, roughly 80 km in a straight line from San Antonio, where A1's rate ends at the destination CFS. The lane costs USD 7 per cubic foot, with USD 512.24 as the smallest shipment. Montreal is quickest at about 50 days, Toronto takes about 53, and Vancouver, the cheapest, about 64.
Coming from the coast, Maipú is reached before central Santiago, which keeps the onward truck from San Antonio relatively short; the consignee books it at their own cost and pays Chilean duties and taxes. Returning Chilean families and small workshops ordering Canadian tools both use this route. For personal effects, the carrier must approve, and a signed packing list and passport copy are needed. A1 does not palletize or collect, so the shipment must reach our warehouse crated or on ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets. Keep the total customs value at or under CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Maipú works
Maipú is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is San Antonio about 80 km (straight line) from Maipú: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at San Antonio. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Maipú with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
