Historical freight rates from China to Canada. Data sourced from live carrier price feeds.
The country-specific numbers we plan every Canada booking around:
| Main air gateways | YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal) |
|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier) |
| Import tax & duty regime | GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% |
| Local currency | CAD |
| Typical port/airport dwell time | 3–6 days |
| Peak / busy season | Aug–Oct |
| Conformity & certification | ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling |
Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
At 100 KG you've crossed into commercial freight — heavy enough to earn competitive per-kilo rates, yet still in the window where air can out-perform ocean once you price in inventory time. Typical cargo on this band into Canada is electronics, apparel and general-goods replenishment.
| Method | Transit Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Air Freight DDP | 5–10 business days | From China warehouse to Canada door |
| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to Canada port + delivery |
| Express Courier | 3–7 business days | DHL/FedEx/UPS door-to-door, high cost for this weight |
On the current feed, China-to-Canada rates open at USD 7.73/KG via Air A-Rate – UPS. For a 100 KG load that works out to a freight total of approximately USD 773. RateHive can manage the customs entry and import-tax step, while the duty itself follows the GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% set by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Entries into Canada are assessed by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and the regime that applies is: GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18%. On de-minimis, the position is CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier). RateHive offers managed clearance and tax processing — a coordination service, not Incoterms DDP — to handle these formalities for you.
Managed clearance into Canada is a coordination service — it isn't Incoterms DDP. We file the customs entry and arrange the duty/tax owed to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) (the de-minimis position being CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier)) so you don't have to broker it yourself.
Space into Canada gets tight around Aug–Oct, layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
Ocean cargo into Canada generally moves through Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal; air clears via YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal). We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward leg to your delivery address, with clearance handled as a managed service.
Reckon on these door-to-door windows into Canada: air 5–10 business days, ocean LCL 30–50 days, ocean FCL 28–45 days. Add roughly 3–6 days for clearance and dwell at the gateway, which RateHive can manage end to end.
For regulated cargo into Canada, budget for: ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling. A missing conformity document is the single most common reason Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) puts a shipment on hold, so verify your HS-code requirements before the goods leave China.
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 100 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
