Route overview
Compare eastern ocean entry, inland routing and air freight
Montreal can serve Quebec and eastern Canadian distribution. Depending on the Chinese origin, service schedule and final destination, cargo may use an eastern ocean gateway, an inland connection from another Canadian port, or direct air freight.
The review should include customs-broker coordination, destination handling and the final postal code. Documentation and delivery communication may need to fit the consignee and local receiving environment.
