Shipping from Canada to Tripoli, Lebanon
Tripoli, Lebanon's main northern city, is on the Mediterranean coast about 68 km in a straight line from the Beirut warehouse where our price ends. Cargo from Canada is quoted to that CFS; the consignee collects in Beirut or books a truck up the coastal highway, and that leg, Lebanese duties and taxes are not included. Montreal is usually the cheapest gateway at about USD 6 per cubic foot, with a smallest shipment of USD 476.92, and transit is about 49 days from Montreal or Toronto and 59 from Vancouver.
Lebanese Canadians send household goods, clothing, gifts and supplies for family businesses. The carrier asks for a commercial invoice, and dangerous goods under IMO rules route via Rotterdam, so declare anything hazardous up front. For household goods, the carrier decides on approval and asks for a signed packing list together with a passport copy. Pallets and crates must use ISPM 15 heat-treated wood, A1 does not palletize, and the total customs value of the shipment may not exceed CAD 2,000.
How a shipment to Tripoli works
Tripoli is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Beirut about 68 km (straight line) from Tripoli: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Beirut. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Tripoli with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
