How to read this table: "Direct (Y)" is the tariff's Y flag; "Via ... (N)" is its N flag with the relay port named, and an em dash means no relay port. Montreal and Toronto appear twice: once in the Canada block (Wednesday, via Vancouver, 34 days) and once in the US West Coast block (Sunday, via NYC, 45 days). Their rates and surcharges differ, so read each line on its own. Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai DG LCL tariff with the USD30/CBM uplift applied. Vancouver prints two tiers, USD65/85 in the tariff, shown here as USD95/115; which tier applies is confirmed when you book. Guangzhou origins are quoted case by case.
