In-bond shipments are not accepted until further notice.

Please note that Air Canada Cargo is in full operation on Family Day, Monday February 11 in British Columbia. As such, normal storage fees will be applied if freight is not retrieved as per the specified normal time period following arrival.

Effective immediately and until further notice at Air Canada Express stations in Canada only, there is a size and weight limitation placed on freight requiring a security screening examination as per the Transport Canada Air Cargo Security Program.
Due to security screening constraints at these stations, freight from unsecure shippers must meet the following conditions to be accepted (per piece):

• Maximum individual piece weight: 77 lbs / 35 kg
• Maximum individual piece width of 29 inches / 74 centimeters
• Maximum individual piece height of 21 inches / 53 centimeters

Please note that these restrictions are temporary and we are working closely with the regulatory authorities to resolve the issue.

Please be advised that until January 28, our Regina, Fort McMurray and Victoria stations can only accept shipments tendered by Transport Canada Registered Shippers or Approved Participants. During this period, at these stations only, there is an embargo on shipments tendered by unknown shippers, as well as all freight to the United States that has not been screened by an Approved Participant.

Starting January 28, freight from unknown shippers will be accepted and screened at these stations, and the security screening fee will apply.

Shipments of live human organs, blood, blood products, bone marrow and diplomatic shipments can continue to be tendered, as these shipments are exempt from screening.

We thank you for your cooperation.
