Why Chinese-Canadian households and students choose Anita

We've run the Canada lane for 10+ years. Delivery routes to Toronto / Vancouver / Montreal — Canada's three largest Chinese-Canadian hubs — are stable. Since the CARM rollout, clearance rules have changed somewhat: we work with our own Canadian customs broker (CCS) on CBSA channels, with GST / HST / PST collected and prepaid. Student luggage to dorms, family-stocking sea freight, FBA Canada prep — all move smoothly.

Canada customs — clearing in the CARM era

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) went fully live with CARM in 2024, requiring importers to register RPP accounts. We work with our own Canadian customs broker who files with CBSA on behalf of clients, with GST / HST / PST collected and prepaid.

Under DDP all charges are paid by us. General-cargo clearance is stable and holds are infrequent; any inspection is handled immediately.

Food / agricultural categories go via CFIA filing; cosmetics / skincare via Health Canada registration; pharmacy via dedicated channels. All of these are routine — clients never deal with paperwork.

Shipping to Canada · FAQ

01 How long does sea freight from China to Canada take?

Shenzhen to West Canada (Vancouver) by sea is roughly 25–30 days door-to-door; to East Canada (Toronto / Montreal) is 28–32 days. Includes declaration, customs, and last-mile truck.

02 Does the China-to-Canada quote include GST/HST?

Yes. On DDP, GST / HST / PST are all collected and prepaid by us. The Canadian recipient signs and that's it — no further charges.

03 Does Canada's CARM system affect China-to-Canada shipping?

No. CARM is the CBSA importer-account system that went fully live in 2024. We're integrated with CARM, general-cargo clearance is unchanged, and clients don't need to register themselves.

04 Can you deliver to student dorms in Canada?

Yes. UofT / UBC / McGill / Waterloo dorms and student apartments are all routine — Air+Truck 8–11 days to door, just give us the dorm address.

05 Can you deliver to remote territories (NWT / YT / NU)?

Yes. The three northern territories use dedicated / remote delivery lines. Transit is slightly longer (~+3–5 days) with a surcharge that's built into the quote.

06 Can I ship frozen food to Canada?

Yes. Sausage, frozen dumplings, seafood, meat — all routine, -18°C cold chain + CFIA-channel declaration. Vancouver / Toronto / Montreal all delivered.

07 Can you deliver to FBA Canada warehouses?

Yes. YYZ4 / YVR4 etc. — DDP intake with GST/HST, appointment + labeling + declaration all handled.
