Ocean freight from Canada to Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv is a major business centre on the Mediterranean coast, about 34 km north of Ashdod in a straight line. There is no separate tariff line for it, so A1 quotes LCL freight to the destination warehouse (CFS) in Ashdod and the consignee handles the drive up the coast. Allow about 37 days from Toronto or Montreal and 47 from Vancouver; Toronto is cheapest at USD 7 per cubic foot, with USD 512.24 as the smallest shipment. A war risk surcharge is added; ask for the current rate.
Tech start-ups, small retailers and families relocating are the usual senders. The exporter number, importer VAT or registration number and HS code must be printed on the bill of lading. The trip from the Ashdod CFS into Tel Aviv, and customs, duties and taxes there, are paid by the consignee outside A1's price. A1 does not pick up or palletize, so bring ISPM 15-compliant pallets or crates; destination charges are confirmed by the carrier before payment.
How a shipment to Tel Aviv works
Tel Aviv is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Ashdod about 34 km (straight line) from Tel Aviv: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Ashdod. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Tel Aviv with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
