Case

Refractory brick, China to Canada.

Yihang has moved refractory brick from China to Canada. This page does not name the buyer and does not invent a tonnage. It describes the job: dense brick, a container that reaches its payload before it looks full, and a Canadian entry that has to be ready before cutoff. A French page covers the same move for buyers in Quebec.

Containers lined up in a terminal

What decided the box

  • Weight, not only cubes. Dense brick can weigh out a 20-foot container
  • Corners and dunnage. Loose brick chips
  • Wood packaging into Canada needs ISPM 15 treatment

What the file included

  • China export on the AEO file, with a description that matches the brick
  • Ocean FCL as the usual mode. LCL only if the weight truly allows it
  • Terminal photos when a record of the load is worth having
  • The Canadian importer, and their business number, stayed the importer

Questions shippers ask

Was this FCL or LCL?

Brick of this kind is usually FCL, because payload is reached before the cube is. Send weight and CBM. If both modes are plausible, the quote shows both.

Can the next one deliver to a plant in Canada?

Yes, if the address is in the quote. Vancouver on the bill of lading is not a door in Ontario or Quebec. The inland leg is priced before booking.

What should I send?

Brick type, weight, CBM, pallet count, the factory city in China, and the Canadian destination. A photo of the pallet helps.

Quote brick to Canada

Weight and volume first. The desk will say whether the container weighs out.
