FAQs - Shipping & Moving from Canada to India
1. How long does sea shipping from Canada to India usually take?
Sea freight from Canada to India normally takes 5 to 8 weeks port-to-port. When you include pickup, customs, and final delivery, door-to-door time can be around 7 to 10 weeks, depending on the route and season.
2. Is air shipping better than sea shipping for my move to India?
Air shipping is much faster, usually 5–12 days door-to-door, but it is also more expensive per kg. It is best for urgent items, important documents, or a few boxes. Sea shipping is better for full households and heavy furniture, because cost per CBM is lower.
3. What documents do I need to ship household goods from Canada to India?
Typically, you need:
- Passport copy
- Indian visa / OCI / PAN (depending on your status)
- Detailed packing list / inventory
- Shipment booking documents (we prepare these)
In some cases, Indian customs may also ask additional papers like employer letter or transfer letter. Our team will guide you based on your situation.
4. Can I ship used furniture and electronics to India without problems?
Yes, you can usually ship used household furniture and used electronics for personal use. However, certain items may attract customs duty or extra checks. We review your inventory and advise you which items may be restricted or taxable.
5. How is the cost of my move to India from Canada calculated?
For sea freight, cost is mainly based on volume (CBM) and service level. For air freight, cost depends on chargeable weight (actual or volumetric). Other factors include pickup & delivery distance, packing needs, and any special handling.
6. Can I share a container with other customers if my volume is small?
Yes. We offer LCL / groupage / shared container services for small shipments. Your goods are palletized or crated and then shipped together with other consignments, so you only pay for the space you use.
7. Do you provide insurance for shipping to India from Canada?
We recommend marine transit insurance or all-risk coverage for most moves. While we pack carefully, long journeys always have some risk. Insurance gives extra protection and peace of mind. We can arrange it for you at competitive rates.
8. Can you handle door-to-door delivery in smaller Indian cities?
Yes, in many cases we can. We work with a trusted partner network in India to deliver to not only big metros but also many Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Just share your destination address, and we will confirm feasibility and cost.
9. When should I book my international move from Canada to India?
Ideally, you should book 4–6 weeks before your planned moving date. This gives enough time for survey, packing planning, and carrier booking, especially in peak seasons like summer. For urgent moves, contact us as soon as possible – we will still try to arrange a solution.
10. How can I get a precise quote for shipping my goods to India from Canada?
You can request a free quote by sharing your origin and destination cities, approximate inventory or home size, and preferred mode (air or sea). We will then send you a detailed, no-obligation estimate and answer any questions you have.
