Ocean freight from Canada to Mixco, Guatemala
Mixco borders Guatemala City on its western side, about 10 km from the centre, and belongs to the capital's metropolitan area. There is no separate tariff line for Mixco, so A1's ocean LCL price ends at the destination warehouse (CFS) in Guatemala City. Allow about 54 days in transit from Toronto or Montreal, or 65 from Vancouver; through Toronto the rate is USD 10 per cubic foot, with USD 647.63 as the smallest shipment.
Many senders are relatives shipping household items and gifts, while community groups send donated goods and small businesses order supplies. The consignee picks up the cargo at the CFS or books a local van for the short trip west, at their own cost, and Guatemalan customs, duties and taxes are not covered by A1. Household goods go on carrier approval with a signed packing list and the owner's passport copy. A1 neither collects nor palletizes, so bring the shipment crated or palletized on ISPM 15 wood; destination charges are confirmed by the carrier before payment.
How a shipment to Mixco works
Mixco is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Guatemala City about 10 km (straight line) from Mixco: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Guatemala City. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Mixco with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
