Shipping from Canada to Vacoas, Mauritius
Vacoas, part of the Vacoas-Phoenix town on the central plateau of Mauritius, is about 15 km in a straight line from the Port Louis warehouse where our price ends. The consignee collects at that CFS or books a truck for the climb inland; local delivery, duties and taxes are not included. Transit is about 55 days from Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver, and Vancouver is usually the cheapest gateway at about USD 6 per cubic foot, with a smallest shipment of USD 476.92.
Mauritian families in Canada ship household goods and gifts, and students send belongings home after their studies. The carrier's listed condition is ISPM 15, so every pallet or crate must be made of heat-treated, stamped wood. A personal-effects shipment is possible on carrier approval, provided you include a signed packing list and a copy of your passport. We do not pick up or palletize, so deliver the prepared shipment to our warehouse, keep the customs value within CAD 2,000 and review the destination charges the carrier confirms before paying.
How a shipment to Vacoas works
Vacoas is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Port Louis about 15 km (straight line) from Vacoas: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Port Louis. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Vacoas with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
