Freight to Nay Pyi Taw
Nay Pyi Taw, the purpose-built capital of Myanmar, lies inland in the centre of the country, about 331 km from Yangon by straight line. It sits on the expressway between Yangon and Mandalay, the usual route for the onward leg after A1's delivery to the Yangon CFS. Ocean transit to Yangon is about 44 days from Vancouver, the lowest-priced gateway, and 54 from Montreal or Toronto, at USD 5 per cubic foot with a USD 441.60 minimum.
Office staff relocating to the capital, and suppliers sending equipment to institutions there, are the likely users. Household goods are accepted when the carrier approves them, together with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Keep the shipment's customs value at CAD 2,000 or less, and palletize it on heat-treated ISPM 15 wood before delivery, because A1 does not palletize. The consignee collects in Yangon or hires a trucker for the drive north; that cost and local duties and taxes are paid at destination, after the carrier confirms its charges.
How a shipment to Nay Pyi Taw works
Nay Pyi Taw is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Yangon about 331 km (straight line) from Nay Pyi Taw: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Yangon. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Nay Pyi Taw with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
Rates from Canada to Yangon

Example from Vancouver: 1 CBM / 200 kg USD 441.60 with all A1 fees. The carrier charges by volume or by weight (1,000 kg per CBM), whichever is greater. From the Prairies the quote adds trucking to Montreal or Vancouver.
