Canada relies heavily on imports from China for electronics, consumer goods, apparel, and machinery. Importers face issues like port congestion (especially Vancouver), customs delays at CBSA, fluctuating ocean rates, winter weather impacts, and holiday disruptions.
GreenPlusExport's China-based team manages the entire process: product sourcing, quality inspections, sea/air freight forwarding, customs documentation, and delivery to Canadian warehouses or Amazon FBA centers. We help reduce risks for Canadian Amazon sellers, wholesalers, brands, and importers.
Costs depend on method and volume. Sea freight (FCL) typically ranges $3,500â$4,800 for a 40ft container to Vancouver (higher to Montreal/Halifax due to routing). Air freight averages $6â$8 per kg for larger shipments. Add sourcing fees of 5â10% of order value, inspections ($100â$300 each), and inland transport. End-to-end timelines: 4â12 weeks including sourcing, production, QC, and delivery.
Disclaimer: Costs vary by cargo details, volume, origin/destination, season, and customs. All quotes are customizedâno hidden fees.
