Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.
Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.
Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.
Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.
Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.
As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).
Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.
As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.
Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incoterms® 2020.
Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.
Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.
Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes — the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.

Key China-to-Canada import facts buyers should plan around:
| Main sea gateways | Vancouver, Prince Rupert, 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 |
| Main air gateways | YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal) |
Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
Shipping 300 KG from China to Canada is firmly in bulk commercial freight territory. At this volume, sea freight (FCL or LCL) and air charter rates become significantly more competitive. Most importers at this weight range use scheduled sea freight for regular orders and air freight only for urgent replenishments.

Current rates for shipping from China to Canada start at USD 1.57/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For 300 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 471, duty included. Final landed cost depends on the GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% applied by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Imports into Canada are assessed by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The applicable regime is: GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18%. The duty-free / de-minimis position is CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Canada means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and last-mile delivery to your door. The CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
Freight to Canada is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is CAD. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
Door-to-door transit to Canada: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
For regulated goods entering Canada, plan for: ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Rates above are lane rates and apply to general cargo. Packing specification, HS classification and the clearance step that matters are all commodity-specific — these guides cover them industry by industry.
