Transportation
As Nepal is a landlocked country, they do not have an international shipping port where they would receive imports. Instead items that are small enough in size can be imported via Air Freight, whereas larger items would need to be shipped via Ocean Freight to Kolkata, India and then transported by vehicular means into Nepal. To ship a box of 4, 4L units by air freight from Montreal to Kathmandu, it would cost approximately 300$ CAD. 20L quantities of chemicals typically are stored in square jerrycan jugs, the cost of shipping 1 unit would be 325$ CAD with rates from A1 Freight Forwarding using Air Freight, located out of Maple, ON, a suburb of Vaughan, ON (A1 Freight Forwarding). Using Ocean Freight, to ship a container of 4 units, it would cost 337$ USD and nearly the same to ship a 20L unit. As Laboratoire M2 is in Sherbrooke, Quebec items would be shipped from Canada’s Montreal port, to the Tianjin Xingang port in China, from the Tianjin Xingang port it would be sent to the Kolkata port of India and then transported by a large freight vehicle into Nepal, reaching Kathmandu or other city of destination (Cargo Router). For items being sent by Air Freight, they would be sent from the Montreal – Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport to the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and then transported by vehicle to its destination.
