Are there trade preferences between India and Canada?
Canada's GSP (General Preferential Tariff) provides reduced rates on select Indian goods. A comprehensive CEPA/FTA is under discussion. Currently, most Indian exports face Canada's MFN tariff rates, which are generally moderate (0-8% for most manufactured goods).
What is the shipping time from India to Canada?
Sea freight from India to Vancouver takes 28-35 days (via Pacific), and to Toronto/Montreal 25-30 days (via Suez Canal). Air freight takes 14-18 hours. Most B2B shipments use sea freight with FOB/CIF/DDP terms.
