Cargo Shipping from Canada to India
Cargo shipping from Canada to India moves more than most people stop to think about. Machinery, household goods, commercial stock, vehicles — goods travel between these two countries constantly, in both directions.
Exporters need their cargo to reach Indian buyers on time. Families moving back home need their belongings treated with care. And businesses on either end of this route need someone who knows the ports, the paperwork, and what can go wrong — before it does.
That’s where Aeon India comes in.

Methods of Shipping to India from Canada
Three things decide the right method. What you’re sending. When you need it. And your budget.
Shipping By Air Freight
Some cargo can’t sit on a vessel for a month. Time-critical documents, electronics ahead of a product launch, pharmaceuticals with a short shelf window — these need to move fast. Air freight from Canada to India gets there in 3–7 days. The cost per kilogram is higher, no question. But when a delay costs more than the freight bill, air is the only option that makes sense.
Shipping By Sea Freight
Most cargo on this route moves by sea. Two container options are available — FCL and LCL.
FCL means you book the entire container for your cargo alone. Better for large volumes, fewer handling touchpoints, lower risk of damage. LCL means your shipment shares space with other consignments going the same way. You only pay for the space you use — the practical choice for smaller or irregular loads.
Transit times run between 25–35 days. Mumbai, Nhava Sheva, Chennai, and Mundra are the main entry ports into India.
Shipping By Land Freight
Land freight handles the connecting legs. It moves cargo from any location in Canada to the port before sailing, or from the Indian port to the final delivery address. Aeon India manages both ends — so nothing gets lost along the way.
What We Import to India
We’ve shipped a lot of different cargo on this route. Here’s what we handle regularly.
- Household Goods & Personal Effects — Furniture, appliances, personal belongings. Everything you've built up over years in Canada, moved safely to India.

- Consumer Goods — FMCG products, electronics, home appliances heading into Indian retail or distribution.
- Engineering, Industrial & Construction Equipment — Heavy machinery, tools, structural components. Bulky and awkward to move, but we've done enough of it to know what works.

- Plastic Products — Raw pellets, moulded parts, finished goods. Plastic travels in many forms and most of them move through this route regularly..
- Crafts & Cultural Exports — Artwork, antiques, handmade goods, collectibles. Careful handling and the right documentation — we treat them accordingly.
- Boats & Yachts — Marine vessels need specialist shipping. We arrange RoRo or flat-rack options depending on size and condition.

Why choose Aeon India for International Cargo Services?
Trusted Packing and Shipping Service
Your cargo must arrive the way it left. Aeon India uses professional packing materials and trained teams. Fragile, bulky, or high-value — every item is packed for the full journey. Warehouse to vessel to front door.
International Shipping Experience
Fifteen-plus years of freight operations don’t happen by accident. The Aeon group has built its name on consistency. Difficult routes. Complex cargo. Edge cases. We’ve seen them all — and we know how to handle them. That knowledge saves you time and protects you from costly mistakes.
Warehouse Storage Facilities
Shipments don’t always move on a straight timeline. Sometimes cargo needs to be held before it’s ready to ship. Sometimes it clears customs but the delivery isn’t lined up yet. Our warehouse facilities handle exactly that — your goods stay secure and organized until you need them moved.
Handling Customs
Canada–India customs is not simple. Duties, HS codes, documentation — one gap can hold your cargo at port. Our team handles all the paperwork and works directly with customs authorities. Your shipment clears without delays.
FAQs When Shipping Goods from Canada to India
FAQs when shipping goods from Canada to India cover the answers to the questions most shippers ask before booking.
Can you ship household goods from Canada to India?
Absolutely. Household moves on this route are something we do regularly. Whether it’s a sofa set, kitchen appliances, personal belongings, or items with sentimental value — we handle the whole thing. Packing, paperwork, customs, and getting it to your door in India. You don’t have to figure any of it out on your own.
Can you ship refrigerated cargo from Canada to India?
Yes. If your cargo needs to stay cold, we use reefer containers. Fresh produce, medication, biologics — the temperature stays controlled from loading to arrival. A lot can happen over a 25-plus day sea journey. Keeping that cold chain intact the whole way is something we take seriously. Advance planning is needed — contact us early.
Can Aeon India handle RoRo shipping services from Canada to India?
Yes. If your vehicle or machine can be driven or rolled, RoRo is a practical and affordable way to ship it. We handle cars, commercial trucks, and heavy equipment on this route regularly. Got something that can’t move on its own? Flat-rack shipping handles that just as well.
How much will it cost for cargo shipping from Canada to India?
There’s no standard price when it comes to cargo shipping from Canada to India — too many variables. Weight, cargo type, air or sea, ports involved — all of it affects the final number. Send us your details and we’ll come back with a quote that’s broken down properly. No ballpark numbers. No charges that show up later.
Do you provide insurance during the shipment?
Yes — and it’s something we always raise with clients. Not as an upsell, but because international freight genuinely carries risk. Your cargo changes hands more than once, waits at port, and spends the better part of a month on the water. We’ll look at what you’re sending and help you work out what cover makes sense.
Will Aeon India assist me with taxes and customs clearance documents?
Yes, absolutely. Missing documents or incorrect details can hold your cargo at port for days. Our team puts the paperwork together, checks everything carefully, and ensures it’s in order before submission. On taxes and duties, we’ll give you a clear picture of what to expect well before your shipment lands. The last thing you want is an unexpected bill waiting on arrival.
