Transit time: 30-40 working days—bridging the gap between sea freight (45+ days) and air freight (6-12 days) in both cost and speed. Available in FCL and LCL options with weekly fixed departures.
We handle export customs clearance, Eurasian rail transport, sea freight transfer, Canadian import clearance, GST (5%) and duty prepayment, and final delivery to your Canadian address (Amazon FBA, commercial, or residential).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose rail transport to Canada instead of direct sea shipping?
Rail + sea transport via Europe reaches Toronto/Montreal faster than the Panama Canal route (30-40 days vs 45-55 days). This is ideal for time-sensitive bulk cargo that cannot bear air freight costs.
Does the DDP price include Canadian GST and duties?
Yes, the price is all-inclusive: import GST (5%), duties (calculated by HS code), clearance fees, rail freight, sea transfer fees, and final delivery charges. No hidden fees.
Can products with built-in batteries be shipped by rail?
Yes. Devices with built-in batteries (such as Bluetooth headphones, smart watches, electronics) can be shipped by rail with UN38.3 documentation and MSDS files. Pure lithium batteries are not accepted.
Do you support Amazon FBA?
Yes. Each carton requires FNSKU labels and "Made in China" labels. Pallet dimensions must meet the 1.2m x 1.0m standard. We provide labeling, palletizing, and packaging services.
