Ocean freight from Canada to Salto, Uruguay
Salto lies on the Uruguay River in the northwest of the country, across from Argentina, about 424 km in a straight line from Montevideo, where A1's price ends at the destination warehouse. Montreal is the cheapest gateway, with about 70 days in transit; Toronto takes about 75 days and Vancouver about 65. Freight to Montevideo is USD 4 per cubic foot, with a minimum of USD 406.28 for the smallest shipment. Household goods of returning families and supplies for farms or small businesses are typical cargo.
After the goods arrive in Montevideo, the consignee collects at the CFS or books a truck for the long drive north to Salto; this inland leg is not in A1's price, nor are Uruguayan customs, duties and taxes. Personal effects are accepted subject to carrier approval, with a signed packing list and a copy of the passport. Deliver the cargo to the Canadian warehouse palletized or crated on heat-treated ISPM 15 wood, since A1 does not pick up or palletize. Keep the declared value within CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Salto works
Salto is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Montevideo about 424 km (straight line) from Salto: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Montevideo. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Salto with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
