Shipping to Santiago via San Antonio
Santiago, Chile's capital, lies inland in the central valley about 91 km in a straight line from San Antonio, the port where A1's rate ends at the destination CFS. Vancouver is the cheapest gateway at about 64 days; Montreal takes about 50 and Toronto about 53. The rate is USD 7 per cubic foot, and the smallest shipment costs USD 512.24.
Route 78, the Autopista del Sol, connects San Antonio with Santiago, and the consignee books that truck or collects personally, outside our price; Chilean customs, duties and taxes are also paid locally. Chileans returning home after study or work in Canada often ship household goods, which can go subject to carrier approval with a signed packing list and a passport copy. Small importers sending stock to Santiago use the same lane. A1 does not collect cargo or build pallets, so arrive at our warehouse with ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets or crates. Total customs value may not exceed CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Santiago works
Santiago is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is San Antonio about 91 km (straight line) from Santiago: 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 Santiago with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
