Ocean freight from Canada to Sfax, Tunisia
Sfax, Tunisia's second city and a busy commercial centre on the eastern coast, is priced through the destination warehouse in Tunis, about 235 km to the north in a straight line. Toronto is the cheapest gateway, and both Toronto and Montreal show about 38 days in transit; Vancouver takes about 48 days. The tariff is USD 9 per cubic foot, with USD 799.62 for the smallest shipment. Families returning from Canada, students and traders all use LCL to move a few pallets.
A commercial invoice is required, and customs clearance takes place at the port of entry, so plan the clearance in Tunis before the goods head south. The consignee collects at the Tunis CFS or books trucking along the coast to Sfax; that transport, along with Tunisian duties and taxes, is outside A1's price. Ask for the list of prohibited products before packing. Total customs value per shipment must not exceed CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Sfax works
Sfax is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Tunis about 235 km (straight line) from Sfax: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Tunis. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Sfax with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
