- Transit time: 6–8 business days door-to-door, China to most Canadian metro areas — Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton. The remote territories (Yukon, NWT, Nunavut) add 2–3 days, and we'll tell you that up front rather than discovering it after pickup.
- Dispatch: cargo picked up from your supplier and dispatched within 3 working days of booking confirmation.
- Mode: air main haul + express last mile, with UPS, FedEx Canada, or DHL Canada depending on the commodity and the delivery address.
- Commodities: general non-dangerous goods, plus dangerous goods — lithium batteries, small chemical shipments, UN-classified cargo — handled with the proper DG paperwork and carrier approvals.
- Correct HS classification on both sides. A misclassified SKU that slides through LA might get held at Toronto Pearson while a broker sorts it out.
- Tax treatment. Whether you're already registered for a GST/HST number, or want us to handle it under DDP.
- Low-value vs formal entry. The threshold is different from the US, and getting it wrong means your shipment sits in a bonded warehouse while paperwork gets sorted.
- Amazon.ca FBA requirements. Like Amazon.com, they have their own labeling and appointment rules — but with a Canadian twist that US-based sellers don't always anticipate.
- DG consultation before booking — if you're not sure whether your product is classified as dangerous, we'll tell you, rather than finding out at the airline cargo terminal.
- Customized packaging and labeling, including Amazon.ca FBA prep (SKU, carton, and pallet labels done to spec).
- 24/7 customer support for the time-zone overlap when something moves overnight on your side of the Pacific.
- Loading and unloading coordination at both ends of the flight.
- Real-time tracking tied into the air waybill and the Canadian courier dispatch.
- Amazon.ca and Walmart.ca sellers doing FBA restocks from Chinese suppliers.
- B2B exporters shipping samples or production runs to Canadian distributors.
- Cross-border e-commerce brands shipping direct-to-consumer parcels to Canadian customers.
- Sellers with DG products — lithium-ion power banks, small beauty or chemical products — that a lot of forwarders will flat-out refuse.
A lot of sellers treat Canada like a slightly farther US: same product, same FBA prep, just change the address on the label. Then the shipment gets held up at the CBSA for a week, an Amazon.ca appointment gets missed, and suddenly a "10-minute address change" has turned into a five-figure stockout. Canada customs doesn't work like US customs, and the forwarders who act like it does are the ones you'll see on seller forums with complaint threads.
That's why our Air Express Shipping to Canada product is built as its own lane, not just a US route with a longer drive. We're Orient Globe (GES Global Logistics), a China-based international freight forwarder headquartered in Dongguan, and we've been moving cargo out of South China since 1999 — including as UPS's exclusive service provider in South China, which matters a lot on this lane because UPS is the dominant last-mile courier inside Canada.
What the numbers look like
We publish these on every Canada quote because buyers should be able to plan around them:
Why Canada needs its own lane
CBSA (the Canada Border Services Agency) files things differently from US CBP. They care about:
We run DDP to Canada for sellers who want a single landed cost and zero surprises at the border, and DDU for sellers who are already GST-registered and have their own Canadian broker. We'll tell you which one actually saves you money before you book — not after your cargo clears.
The support services, bundled
Because Canada shipping has enough moving parts on its own, we don't nickel-and-dime the basics:
Who this is for
We move cargo on this lane for:
If your supplier can't export on their own papers, we can handle the export declaration and license piece. If you need product sourcing on the China side, we have a team for that too.
How to book
Send us: the product and HS code (plus UN number if it's DG), the weight and CBM, the origin city, and the Canadian destination (an FBA warehouse ID, a commercial address, or a residential one). We'll come back with a real quote, a 6–8 day transit commitment, and a DDP/DDU recommendation based on your tax situation.
If you've been burned by a forwarder who treats Canada like "just another US state," send us your last CBSA delay notice. We'll show you how a China-to-Canada lane that's actually staffed by people who know Canadian customs paperwork is supposed to run.
