This is a popular choice for small to medium-sized businesses shipping smaller quantities to destinations such as Canada from the UK.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL shipment is ideal when you have low-volume cargo, typically less than <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>13-15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>. It allows you to share space with other shippers, making it economically viable and flexible.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose you're an artisanal cheese producer in the UK sending a monthly consignment of <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>10 CBM<\/strong><\/span> of cheeses to specialty stores in Canada. Opting for LCL freight service can save costs since you're splitting the container space and cost with other shippers.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Although the per-CBM cost might be slightly higher in LCL compared to a full container (FCL), the overall shipping charge will be lower for low-volume shipments. However, bear in mind that there may be additional handling charges owing to the consolidation and deconsolidation processes, so an LCL shipping quote always requires thorough review before proceeding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6848-8-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6848-8-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"custom-colors featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6848-8-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>FCL<\/strong><\/span> (Full Container Load) shipping involves hiring an entire container, typically a <strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">20'ft<\/span><\/strong> or <strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">40'ft<\/span><\/strong> container, for the exclusive use of shipping your goods.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong>FCL is often the most cost-effective option when shipping higher volumes of goods, specifically if your cargo is more than <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>13 to 15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>. Moreover, FCL ensures the safety of your items because the container remains sealed from origin to destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong>Let's consider a company that manufactures heavy machinery parts in the UK. They recently received an order for shipping <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>15 CBM<\/strong><\/span> of goods to Canada. Choosing FCL shipping will not only be economical due to the high volume but also guarantee the safety of these sensitive parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong>It's important to obtain an FCL shipping quote upfront to understand the cost involved. Rates can fluctuate based on several factors like type of goods, shipping route, fuel prices, and demand. However, remember that FCL does not indicate full usage; even partially filled containers can still be economical if your cargo surpasses the <strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">13 to 15 CBM<\/span><\/strong> threshold. Irrespective of the filled levels, the cost of the FCL container stays the same. This means, the more goods you ship, the more you save per unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6848-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-6848-9\" ><div id=\"pgc-6848-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6848-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6848-9-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Shipping between the UK and Canada, and pondering whether to use consolidation or a full container?

On the other hand, the <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>volumetric weight<\/strong><\/span>, sometimes known as dimensional weight, takes into account the space your package occupies on the aircraft relative to its actual weight.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>In Air Cargo shipping, the formula to calculate volumetric weight is Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) \/ 6000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms (kg). Express Air Freight has slightly different standards, with the divisor being 5000.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Let's take an illustrative example. Suppose your package weighs 20 kg and its dimensions are 50cm x 40cm x 30cm. In Air Cargo, your volumetric weight would be 50cm x 40cm x 30cm \/ 6000 = 10 kg (or 22 lbs). For Express Air Freight, the calculation would be 50cm x 40cm x 30cm \/ 5000 = 12 kg (or 26.46 lbs).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The significance of both measurements comes into play when determining shipping costs. Freight charges are calculated based on the higher of the two weights - either volumetric or gross. Thus, understanding these weights ensures you don\u2019t get blind-sided by higher than expected shipping costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6848-17\"

Everything from the place where your goods were manufactured, the <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Harmonized System (HS)<\/strong><strong> Code<\/strong><\/span> of your goods, the <span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Customs Value<\/strong><\/span> or the price paid for the goods, the specific <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Tariff Rate<\/strong><\/span> applicable to the category of products you're shipping, not mentioning the potential extra charges such as <span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>VAT, Excise Tax<\/strong><\/span> or other local taxes and fees - all these contribute to the final cost calculation. This process might look complex, but with the right guidance, you can navigate it smoothly. As an importer, your first step is to pinpoint the exact nation where your goods were created or produced. This information is crucial because it sets the stage for classifying your goods and applying the appropriate tariffs and charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"49\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 1 - Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3>\n<p>Grasping your product's<span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong> country of origin<\/strong><\/span> seems simple, but trust us, it's more than meets the eye. Here are five reasons why this matters.<\/p>\n<p>First, the origin country dictates the <span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Harmonized System (HS) code<\/strong><\/span>. This code equates to your product\u2019s DNA for customs officials. Without it, your shipment won't cross borders.<\/p>\n<p>Second, trade agreements rule, literally. UK and Canada share a well-established <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/summary-of-the-uk-canada-trade-continuity-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Trade Continuity Agreement (TCA)<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. It impacts duties, often in your favor, so knowing the origin country reaps rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Third, identifying the origin country uncovers import restrictions. Consider honey: Canada restricts certain types of honey from the UK, so knowing your product's origin saves headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, imagine marking your goods incorrectly as Canadian, when they are British. That slip-up leads to incorrect duties and potential legal action. You don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, brokering the customs process is easier when you have the right origin information. Officials will sail your shipment through customs if you play by the rules and present the correct country of origin.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, navigating the sea of customs needs a well-informed captain. Your ship\u2019s sailing depends on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"50\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 2 - Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>The Harmonized System (HS) code<\/strong><\/span> is a universally recognized system of names and numbers to classify traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and for gathering statistics.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Normally, your supplier would be the easiest source for obtaining this code as they are familiar with the regulations related to their products<\/strong><\/span>. If reaching out to them is not an option, however, you can still find the HS code on your own.<\/p>\n<p>You just need to follow a few simple steps using the <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong><a style=\"color: #800000\" href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The first step involves using an HS lookup tool. Subsequently, you'll just enter your product's name in the search bar and then locate the HS code in the Heading\/Subheading column.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution: accuracy is vital when determining the HS code for your product. An incorrect code could lead to unnecessary delays in shipping and the potential for fines.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an infographic showing you how to read an HS code. Remember, understanding your product's HS code is instrumental in ensuring smooth and efficient shipping for your business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"51\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-987 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png\" alt=\"hs code uk\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png 640w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-5\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"52\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 3 - Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3>\n<p>Understanding the customs value of your goods is a crucial step in the import process. You might think that the customs value is just the price you paid for the goods, right? Not exactly - it's a bit more comprehensive. In fact, the customs value, also known as the 'CIF' value, includes the cost of the goods you're importing, the cost of international shipping, and the insurance cost.<span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong> So, if your goods cost $50, shipping was $10, and insurance was $5, the CIF value would be $65. And it's this $65 value that Canadian customs will use to calculate your duty<\/strong><\/span>. Remember to keep all receipts and invoices. This accurate, up-front calculation saves you surprises and potential obstacles at Canadian customs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"53\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 4 - Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Import tariffs,<\/strong><\/span> also known as customs duties, are taxes that countries impose on imported goods. The value of these duties is determined based on the type of item being imported and its declared value. Canada primarily uses the Harmonized System tariff.<\/p>\n<p>To identify the applicable import tariff for goods imported from the United Kingdom to Canada, you will need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Head to the United Kingdom Trade Tariff Tool at the given link <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong><a style=\"color: #800000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK Trade Tariff<\/a><\/strong><\/span> - United Kingdom Customs.<br \/>\n2. Enter the Harmonized System (HS) code of your product previously identified, and specify the product's country of origin.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10425 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/UK-GOV-HS-300x90.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"710\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/UK-GOV-HS-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/UK-GOV-HS-768x230.jpg 768w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/UK-GOV-HS.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you're importing ceramic mugs (HS code: 6912002310) from the United Kingdom, this would be the code you enter.<\/p>\n<p>3. Check the duties and taxes applied to your ceramic mugs. Let's assume your mugs face a tariff rate of <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>6.5%<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the tariffs, you also need to consider your goods insurance and freight costs (CIF costs). <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Suppose the CIF cost for your ceramic mugs is $1,000. To calculate the amount of import duties, multiply the tariff rate by the CIF cost: 6.5% $1,000 = $65.<\/strong><\/span> This figure represents the amount you will pay in import duties for your shipment of ceramic mugs to Canada from the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, every product can have a different tariff rate, so utilizing these tools is crucial to accurately calculating your costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-7\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"54\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 5 - Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>If you're importing goods from the UK to Canada, it's crucial to remember that your financial obligations aren't always covered by the standard tariff rate alone. Beyond this, you might be responsible for additional <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>import duties and taxes<\/strong><\/span> contingent on your product's origin and nature.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, an excise duty, a tax applied to specific goods like alcohol or tobacco, might hold relevance for your shipment. Another potential levy could be anti-dumping taxes, enforced to protect Canadian industries from unfairly priced imported products.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Value Added Tax (VAT) might be the most significant extra charge. VAT is a form of consumption tax, added to a product's value at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale. In Canada, the VAT is known as the <span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Goods and Services Tax (GST)<\/strong><\/span>.<span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong> As a rough guide, if your product's value was $5000, and Canada's GST is 5%, you'd owe an additional $250 in GST. However, these calculations are just illustrative and could vary in real scenarios.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, keeping track of these costs can feel overwhelming, but understanding them could prevent unexpected expenses that can impact your bottom line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6848-21-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"55\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\n<p>In Step 6, understanding how <span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>customs duties<\/strong> <\/span>in Canada are reached when importing goods from the UK is crucial. Essentially, the customs duty is calculated using the customs value of the goods. Say, for instance, you import goods valued at <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>$10,000<\/strong><\/span>. If the general customs duty rate is <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>5%<\/strong><\/span>, you'd pay <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>$500<\/strong><\/span> in customs duties.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>However, when Value-Added Tax (VAT) is also applied, the calculation changes. If the rate of VAT is 20%, you would first calculate the customs duty ($500), then apply VAT to the total value, including customs duty ($10,500), making your VAT charge $2,100.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>In instances where anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty are also levied, let's assume they total $300.

It provides customs officers with all the vital details they need: the types and quantity of goods shipped, their weight, dimensions and value. Thoughtfully prepared by you, the shipper, it's your responsibility to ensure its information matches what's loaded onto the vehicle \u2013 whether it's a sea freight container or an air cargo pallet. Accuracy is paramount here. Let\u2019s take the example of an automotive parts supplier shipping engines from Birmingham to Ontario. A small miscommunication or discrepancy in the packing list could mean your cargo gets held up at Halifax Sea Port or Toronto Pearson Airport. So, triple check that packing list.
