1,Because my staff are new,Canada’s customs require all the goods must be used or be possessed for at least 6 months,whether your company will provide help to avoid tax and duty?
Answer:Although the customs require all the goods must be used or be possessed for at least 6 months，it doesn’t matter even if your goods are new because we will unpacking the original package and then re-pack with our professional packing materials.(with Trust Mover Logo )So we will declare the shipment as used household goods and no need to pay any tax and duty.

4, Which documents should I provide to clear the shipment, and how can I help?

For the detail process, our agent in destination will contact you then.
5,Compared with LCL and FCL, which is better,and how is the price?
A: It depends on the volume of the goods,less goods are for LCL. If you have many furniture ,you should choose for FCL, a 20 ft container could fill with 28 cbm goods, also ,a container’s price is constant, so you could fill full of your container. Besides, the furnitures are more expensive than those in our country.
6.What charge will be produce in destination port?
A: The charge produced in destination port included port charge(include THC,document transfer fee etc.)and inspection fee. The port charge is about $200. The inspection fee is about $300. If there is any accident occur during clearance, it will be produce higher demurrage and storage charges. So we don’t suggest the client clear the shipment by himself/herself or find an local company. The best way is door to door.We Trust Mover can take good care of your shipment from door to door. Actually,some charge are not included , such as the heavy handling fee and the second delivery charges. So you should know clearly about the include fee and the exclude fee before you sign the contract.
