How it works

From quote to delivery, every step happens in your client account.

Orders are not open yet: here is how shipping will work once they open. Join the waitlist to be notified. Join the waitlist

  1. 1. Get a quote

    Enter the pickup and delivery addresses, the weight and dimensions of your parcel. Our engine calculates the available options (air for now; sea and truck coming soon) and recommends one.

  2. 2. Pay online: payment held

    Payment is made online through Stripe. Payment held — released to the carrier after confirmed delivery. KargoJet never stores card details.

  3. 3. Transport by a registered traveller or carrier

    Travellers and carriers complete their profile with our team before being offered. Depending on the options shown in the quote for your address, you drop your parcel at a drop-off point or have it picked up at home.

  4. 4. Track your shipment

    With your tracking number, check the shipment status and the history of the steps reported by the carrier (location, date), including customs clearance. Status changes also appear in the notifications of your client account.

FAQ: customs and shipping from Canada

This information is general and does not replace official rules. The shipper remains responsible for the contents and declaration of their shipments. Check the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Cameroon customs for up-to-date rules.

What customs formalities apply when shipping from Canada to Cameroon?

+

Formalities depend on the nature, value and use of the goods. Leaving Canada, export rules fall under the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). On arrival, Cameroon customs may charge duties and taxes. Check with these authorities before shipping.

What is the difference between DAP and DDP?

+

With DAP (the default), the price covers transport to the recipient, without import duties or taxes: the recipient pays them on arrival, plus any brokerage fees. DDP is only offered through a partner freight forwarder or customs broker, with a deposit of 100% of estimated duties and taxes; it is not offered for parcels carried by a traveller. KargoJet is never the importer of record.

Do I need to declare the contents of my parcel?

+

Yes for sea freight: each item must be declared (description, quantity, weight) to determine customs duties. Vehicles, motorcycles, refrigerators and barrels go through a customs assessment by our team: the duty amount is confirmed before payment and may adjust the invoice.

Are some items prohibited or restricted?

+

Yes, some goods are prohibited or restricted in Canada, Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. Check with the CBSA and Cameroon or Ivorian customs before shipping. A carrier may refuse a non-compliant parcel.

How is my payment protected?

+

Card payment goes through Stripe: payment held — released to the carrier after confirmed delivery (recipient handover code), then 72 hours without a claim. Cancellation before a carrier accepts: 100% refund. This is neither a deposit nor a financial guarantee; see the terms of service.

How do I track my shipment?

+

Enter your tracking number on the “Track a parcel” page to see the status and the history of steps, including customs clearance.

How long does a Canada → Cameroon shipment take?

+

Transit times depend on the transport mode and carrier availability; they are carrier estimates. For an indicative transit time on your route, message us on WhatsApp or by email.

Is my parcel insured?

+

No. KargoJet does not offer any insurance: parcels are not insured by KargoJet. You can declare the value of the contents free of charge (CA$500 maximum), but this is not insurance. If a loss, non-delivery or damage is established, KargoJet refunds the customer up to the amounts paid, even if the payment has already been released to the carrier. This refund is neither insurance nor a guarantee of delivery or timing.

Can I also ship from Cameroon to Canada?

+

Yes, KargoJet connects Cameroon and Canada in both directions. The quote shows the options available for your route.

Can I ship a parcel between Canada and Côte d'Ivoire?

+

The Canada ↔ Côte d'Ivoire air corridor (via Abidjan) is being prepared, in both directions. Rates are not published yet and orders are not open: join the waitlist to be notified. Travellers who fly this route can already pre-register. On arrival, Ivorian customs may charge duties and taxes.

Is local delivery available?

+

Not yet. Local pickup and delivery in Canada, Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire are coming soon; they cannot be ordered for now.
