Questions answered

Shipping to Montreal Airport (YUL) — FAQs

How long does shipping from the UK to Montreal (YUL) take? −
By air freight: 5-9 working days from UK door collection to Montreal Montreal-Trudeau International Airport cargo warehouse. Sea freight 3-6 weeks. These sea transit times are approximate — the actual time depends on when your LCL container finishes loading and consolidating, the vessel’s sailing date and route, any transhipment hub before the final destination, and customs clearance, so please allow a week or two either side. Transit times run from the date of UK collection and exclude UK and Canada public holidays.
Does the sender and receiver have to be the same person? +
Yes — for personal effects classification, the sender in the UK and the receiver at Montreal must be the same person. This is a Canada customs requirement. A different receiver will cause customs to reclassify the shipment, potentially attracting full commercial import duties.
Are destination charges included in my UK quote? +
No. Your UK quote covers collection from your door, export documentation and air freight to Montreal YUL. Destination charges — airport handling, government inspection fees, storage fees and any import duties — are levied by Canada authorities and payable by the receiver at the Montreal cargo warehouse. We advise on known destination charges for YUL at the time of booking.
What is the booking deposit? +
All bookings require a £75.00 non-refundable deposit to secure your UK collection date. This is offset against your total shipping charge at invoice — it is not an additional fee.
Can I ship electronics to Montreal? +
Most personal electronics are accepted on standard air freight to Montreal. Lithium batteries are not accepted on any service worldwide. Declare all devices with make, model and accurate declared value. Destination customs at YUL may levy duties on electronics — declare accurately and do not understate values.
