Shipping Furniture and Household Goods to Canada
Shipping households to Canada can cost you around $4,500 (AED 16,500) for a full container, and lowering to $1,500 (5,500) for a shared container.

| Full Container | $4,500 (AED 16,500) |

Shipping a car to Canada can be around $2,500 (AED 9,100) on average by container and $1,500 (AED 5,000) by RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off).
When shipping your car internationally, there are two main popular ways to ship it:
- Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO): It allows you to drive your car onto the ship and drive it off at the destination. It’s usually the cheapest, but may not be available in all ports.
- Container Shipping: This alternative is safer, as it will be inside a sealed container. It has more limitations in size and shape of vehicles, but you’ll have more availability and flexibility.
