Ocean freight from Canada to New Taipei City
New Taipei City wraps around Taipei in northern Taiwan, and its cargo from Canada is priced to the destination warehouse at Keelung, roughly 27 km away in a straight line. Shipments from the Vancouver warehouse spend about 27 days in transit and are the cheapest option; Toronto and Montreal departures need about 40 days. At USD 4 per cubic foot, with USD 406.28 as the price of the smallest shipment, LCL suits a few pallets of personal belongings, samples or restocking goods for a small shop.
Because New Taipei City spreads over many districts, plan the final leg early: either someone picks up at the Keelung CFS or a local trucker delivers to the address, at the consignee's cost. Customs clearance, import duties and taxes in Taiwan are also outside the quote. Every pallet or crate has to meet ISPM 15 heat-treatment rules. Household items can travel only once the carrier approves them, with a signed packing list and a copy of the owner's passport. You will see the destination charges, as confirmed by the carrier, before paying anything.
How a shipment to New Taipei City works
New Taipei City is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Keelung about 27 km (straight line) from New Taipei City: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Keelung. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to New Taipei City with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
