The latest updates on warehousing, logistics, customs, and supply chain management in Montreal and across Canada.
Import-export logistics in Canada isn't one process. It's drayage windows at Port of Montreal, CBSA release timing, warehouse dock doors, and the money sitting idle while cargo sits flagged. We run this on our dock every week.
Most importers pick a freight forwarder based on address. That's the wrong criterion. What matters is whether they can coordinate PARS releases with your warehouse, manage drayage windows at Port of Montreal, and clear your CAD before your dock-to-stock window closes. Being ten minutes away means nothing if they're sending your paperwork three hours late.
Shipping Quebec cost is not a line-item number—it's a stack of drayage, in-bond handling, storage, and seasonal pressure. Most importers quote a single freight rate and miss 40-60% of the total landed cost.
Quebec forwarding isn't just booking a container slot and hoping. It's negotiating drayage windows at Port of Montreal, coordinating CBSA releases before truck arrival, and knowing which bonded warehouse actually has dock capacity on Tuesday. We do this every day.
Freight forwarding in Montreal isn't about having a logo and a website. It's about understanding Port of Montreal dock windows, CBSA release protocols, and what happens when your broker's system talks to yours. Most importers pick wrong.
