Baggage consignment skills of Canadian immigrants

# Canadian Immigrants # Introduce what items can be carried free of charge for immigration to Canada, entry and exit luggage and sea transportation? Do you have any requirements for these luggage? Let's talk about it in detail, hoping to give you some reference.

At present, the piece-by-piece free baggage allowance is applicable to baggage transportation on international routes between China and the United States and China and Canada. According to airline regulations, the free baggage allowance for each full-price or half-price passenger is as follows:

1, first class and business class fares: the number of pieces of luggage delivered free of charge is two, and the sum of the three sides of each piece shall not exceed 62 inches (158 cm).

2. Economy class and preferential travel fares: the number of free luggage is two pieces, and the sum of the three sides of each piece does not exceed 62 inches (158 cm), but the sum of the two pieces does not exceed 107 inches, and the weight of each piece does not exceed 32 kg.

3. Babies who pay 0/0% of the adult fare: One piece of luggage can be checked for free, but the sum of its three sides should not exceed 45 inches (1 15 cm). In addition, a fully foldable portable stroller or cart can be delivered free of charge. In addition, if it exceeds the specified quantity, it will be charged according to the specified quantity.

At the same time, in addition to the piece-by-piece baggage delivered free of charge when boarding the plane, each passenger with a full-price or half-price ticket can also carry the following items with him free of charge:

A handbag (usually the size of a suitcase), a coat or raincoat or travel blanket, a crutch and an umbrella, a small amount of food to eat during the flight, a small camera, a small telescope, baby food (for travel only), a baby cradle (for one only), a foldable round-backed chair or a pair of crutches or braces or artificial limbs for patients to move.

Fine solution for sea luggage

Before shipping, you must know what the shipping is like, just like before eating eggs, you must know how hens lay eggs.

Noun explanation:

The shipping company-the carrier, that is, the carrier, is responsible for transporting the goods from one port to another and earning his sea freight.

The shipper, that is, the consignor, entrusts his goods to the shipping company, which transports the goods to the destination and gives them to the consignee.

The consignee, that is, the consignee, sits at home and receives goods from the owner. Of course, he has to pay the master.

Just like writing a composition, now all three elements are complete, as simple as that.

The essence of shipping is the process that the shipper entrusts the shipping company to deliver the freight to the consignee. In order to mark the goods, you also need to know:

Ship-ship, that is, ship, is divided into container ship and bulk carrier. Only container ships are mentioned here. Every ship has a name, such as "Galaxy".

The voyage is a bit like the number of trains, but the voyage only happens once, just like the Titanic can only have one voyage.

Billoflading -B/L, that is, bill of lading, is the proof of delivery, and each bill of lading has a bill of lading number.

Almost. However, ocean transportation is not so simple, because it involves trade between countries.

Must continue to explain nouns:

Shipping agent-responsible for contacting and helping the ship dock, for the life and food hygiene of a ship's crew during the dock, and for contacting and loading and unloading.

Freight forwarder-responsible for helping shipowners load the goods. The companies on the street called freight forwarders and shipping agents are almost all freight forwarders.

One customs clearance and three inspections-customs, commodity inspection, health inspection and animal and plant inspection. Three inspections should be combined into one inspection. I don't know if it has been merged. Maybe it's called "Third Inspection Bureau".

Freight yard-the place where goods are loaded into containers. Sadly, this is also where stowaways hide in containers.

Ah, there is also an important dock company, which is responsible for providing docks for ships to dock and load and unload. Domestic terminal companies are generally affiliated to the port authority and only mix in the local area. For example, Dalian, Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, Li Ka-shing, the father of Little Superman, opened Hutchison Whampoa Wharf Company, which not only became the boss in Hong Kong, but also extended his feet to Shanghai and Panama.

Ok, we can finally get down to business.

The shipper contacts the freight forwarder, or the freight forwarder contacts the shipper. From the power of attorney, the delivery really begins. The consignor entrusts a freight forwarder, which means that the freight forwarder will handle dock, shipping agency, customs declaration, customs clearance, yard and other affairs on behalf of the consignor in the future, and help the consignor pay the sea freight and pre-shipment expenses. Hehe, isn't it a bit like an immigration company? Keep watching, and you will know how black the immigration company is.

In the process of shipping, the yard is a very important link. In the transport clause, the shipping company generally starts from the freight yard to transport goods and its responsibilities. The term from the beginning of the freight yard to the end of the freight yard is CY/CY, and the shipping company is responsible for carrying it to the CY/DOOR. Of course, there are many terms, such as CFS and so on

Of course, the owner's goods were not put in the yard at first, so it involves a transportation problem. The owner can prepare the container himself, transport it to the freight yard himself, or ask the freight forwarder to entrust the motorcade to transport it. The team collects money by box kilometers, the owner gives the money to the forwarder, and the forwarder gives the money to the team. Note: at this time, the freight forwarder may earn the difference, for example, the team and the freight forwarder have an agreed price.

After the goods arrive at the storage yard, customs clearance and three inspections are required, and customs declaration fees, commodity inspection fees and other fees are charged; The packing fee is charged for the yard, and the port fee is charged for the dock. Generally speaking, it refers to the pre-shipment fee, and the owner gives the money to the freight forwarder, who pays it.

The freight forwarder should have booked the shipping space by this time, and the freight is mainly paid to the freight forwarder and the freight forwarder to the shipping agent. This is freight prepaid, and another is to pay the freight, where the consignee pays the freight. No matter which payment method, the forwarder will get his commission. According to the industry practice, the shipping company pays 5% of the sea freight as commission, of which 0.75% is the commission of the shipping agent and 4.25% is the commission of the freight forwarder. This 4.25% commission will be distributed according to the agreement between the shipping agent and the freight forwarder. These two agents will no longer charge any commission to the owners.

Exposing the secrets of this industry is to compare with immigration companies. Since it's a secret, everyone will read it. Don't tell anyone, it will become a well-known secret.

After paying the sea freight, the shipper can get the bill of lading. The contents of the bill of lading mainly include: name of ship, voyage, bill of lading number, consignor, consignee, notifying party, port of arrival, description of goods, number of packages, weight, size, shipping mark, case number, seal number, etc. It is worth mentioning that this sign, that is, the words or patterns on the packaging of goods, is mainly used to distinguish goods. It can be the name of the goods plus the number of pieces, or it can be three moles on the corner of the goods.

The owner sends the bill of lading to the consignee, and the consignee can pick up the goods. The process of picking up the goods is basically the same as the process of delivery, but the order is reversed, and it is necessary to deal with shipping agents and freight forwarders.

How's it going? I've made it clear enough. Is it urgent to go to Li Run?

Wait, this really gets to the point. It's all nonsense.

Generally, there are two kinds of containers, 20 XX and 40 XX, that is, the length of the container, that is, 20ft and 40ft. A 20 XX container is also called a TEU, and 40 XX is two TEUs. There are more TEUs in ports all over the world.

To put it bluntly, I want to tell you that your little possessions are not enough to fill a corner of a 2XX container. Don't dream of carrying a box by yourself or several people together. If there is no concept, you can go to the street to see Mercedes-Benz trucks pulling containers and visit containers. It is popular to use old containers as dormitories for migrant workers on construction sites, and we can also see how big they are.

For small shippers, the shipping industry uses LCL services. For the shipping company, it is not responsible for the LCL business, and the shipping company still looks at containers one by one. The person in charge of LCL is usually a large freight forwarder or a special LCL freight forwarder. Freight forwarders collect LCL of small consignors, put them into containers and hand them over to the transportation company. Then, the LCL agent of the freight forwarder at the destination port takes the bill of lading to the shipping company to pick up the goods, and is responsible for unpacking and handing it over to each consignee.

The bill of lading in the hands of small shippers is no longer the bill of lading of shipping companies, but the bill of lading of freight forwarders. Like the shipping company's bill of lading, if it is to pick up the goods, you can pick up the goods.

As for the sea freight, the freight forwarder still pays the shipping company dollars according to the price of the whole case. Then set a unit price, cubic meters or tons, generally according to cubic meters, unless it is heavy goods, but generally sweaters, pants, cotton-padded clothes, pants, not iron clothes, pants, not so dense. Small shippers pay their share of sea freight by multiplying the unit price by the unit price. When the box is full, the freight forwarder will make a fortune.

Q: What a coincidence! How many small shippers all shipped to one place?

Answer: Of course not.

There are two ways to solve this problem: first, when receiving the goods, the owner of LCL has no right to choose the voyage, even if he is in a hurry. The second is to transport them to a transit port, such as Hong Kong or Busan, South Korea, take out all the LCL goods in the box, reassemble them at the transit port by LCL agents, put them together on the US-Canada line, put them together in Europe, and then transport them to the base port in the United States or Europe, and then assemble them again. Like the first scheme, the owner has no choice. Unfortunate example: After arriving in Hong Kong, the LCL agent in Hong Kong did not collect all the boxes of the US-Canada line for a month, and the owner could do nothing.

The content of the theory is finished. Let's be realistic. For immigrants, if they decide to ship by sea, the most important thing is to find a reputable LCL agent. There are actually several kinds of freight forwarders. In the big port mentioned just now, there will be several big FCL agents, several big LCL agents and countless small freight forwarders. If you want to find a large-scale LCL agent, you usually have your own LCL agent in several base ports, and the service and price are good. The transportation time is also guaranteed, even if the individual situation is not satisfactory, some freight will be lost.

The way to judge whether it is a professional LCL company is to ask their business volume directly. For example, whether there is an LCL agent in the port of destination, how many cases are put together every month, and so on. If you spell a box every month, it is by no means a big agent. Teach you another trap question: "If you are not satisfied with playing, will you play with other companies?" . Remember, every big LCL forwarder is a competitor and will never do such a thing. Only small freight forwarders will give LCL goods to large LCL agents. Also, depending on the price, the big freight forwarder will never shout out the high price first, nor will he give you a low price to lure you when you come to draw the price. There is no other reason for saying so much. There are too many shell companies in the agency industry, and laymen are easily fooled.

After contacting the company, you have to pay the toll, that is, the cost of transporting your goods to the freight yard. You can deliver the goods yourself or ask the freight forwarder to help you. You can generally refer to the price of the moving company. For example, it should be less than 150 yuan from downtown Tianjin to Tianjin Port, and less than 800 yuan from downtown Beijing to Tianjin Port. As for how much less, it depends on your ability to draw the price. If you can contact your partner, you can save a lot of money by carpooling.

Other RMB fees, in addition to customs declaration fees, should also include packaging fees. It's all tens of dollars, not too much, and the bulk is still sea freight. From Tianjin to the eastern United States, the unit price is 70 to 80 dollars per cubic meter, and it is cheaper to ship to the western United States 10 yuan. However, the freight forwarder has the final say, and even if Bingle is carried out, people will not change the price.

In the eastern part of the US-Canada route, the general immigration destination is Toronto.

In the west of the West-America-Canada route, the general immigration destination is Vancouver.

Less than one hundred dollars? ! So little? !

Hehe, this is just your cash on delivery price. When I arrived in Canada, I transported it from the yard to my new home, hehe. But Bingle doesn't know the price and dare not talk nonsense.

Speaking of new home, say one more word. Because of the nature of the bill of lading, the consignee must type, so contact a friend who is already in Canada and use his address as the consignee's address.
