How do I send 35 kg of canvas bags of commercial value through ship and not through air to Canada as rate is major factor. Delivery time is not a factor?

dear Mr.Prashant Balar,
yes when it is not the time factor you can send this cargo by sea in consolidation mode that is LCL mode (less than container load), that is freight forwarders/consolidation agents will take these type of small small cargoes of different exporters from one port to one port in one container. and here your charges will be very less comparing to air.
here your charges will be ocean frt per cbm or tonn normally may be usd 40 plus or minus, IHC+THC in Inr 1500 per cbm/ton, Bill of lading Inr 500, if you are sending the cargo to USA or CAnada than you have Advance cargo manifest filing charges usd 25.00 per shipment irrespective of cbms/tonnes.
you can check with any of local customs guy.
Thanks...
