There is no single reliable flat price for shipping from China to Canada. A real quote depends on origin city, port/airport, destination, cargo volume, weight, Incoterm, season, carrier space and the amount of origin/destination handling required.
The 7 biggest cost drivers
- Mode: FCL, LCL or air freight
- Shipment dimensions and weight
- Chinese pickup location and export handling
- Canadian gateway and final delivery location
- Incoterm
- Commodity / special handling
- Current carrier capacity and surcharges
Why LCL quotes can be misleading
LCL has consolidation and deconsolidation fees. Compare the full origin-to-door total, not only the ocean linehaul.
How to get a useful quote
Send supplier city, Canadian postal code, piece count, dimensions, weight, commodity, ready date and Incoterm. That is enough to compare sensible options.
Need a route-specific answer?
Use the quote form with your actual origin, destination, cargo dimensions/weight and timing. That turns a general guide into a usable shipment plan.
