Air Freight from Halifax
YHZ is UAL's own home base — but we don't yet have a confirmed same-carrier routing linking it to any of our 8 ASEAN/India destinations. Korean Air's YHZ freighter runs the other direction, built around Nova Scotia's seafood exports inbound to Asia via Seoul, not composed onward from here.

Why ship through UAL
Neutral, not carrier-tied
We're IATA-accredited and CIFFA-aligned — not a GSSA representing one airline's capacity. That means we route YHZ-Canada cargo via whichever carrier is fastest or has capacity that week, not whichever pays us the best override.
Two ends, one family
Halifax is UAL's own home base, and Kuala Lumpur is our origin-side office — built over 35 years through our family's United Travels operation. No third-party forwarder sits between the two ends of your shipment, wherever it's headed.
Direct AWB issuance
We issue the House AWB ourselves and hold the Master AWB relationship with the operating carrier directly — no forwarder-of-forwarder markup added on top of the carrier rate.

Exporting from Canada
CERS Declaration
Export declarations are filed electronically through CERS (Canadian Export Reporting System) — the paper B13A form has been phased out.
Value Threshold
Non-restricted commercial goods under CAD $2,000 are exempt from declaration to any destination; above that, a CERS declaration is required for exports to non-US destinations like these.
CFIA Export Certification
Seafood exporters generally need a Safe Food for Canadians licence, and a CFIA-issued Export Certificate where the destination requires one, via My CFIA.
Filing Window
Air cargo must be reported not less than 2 hours before loading.
CPTPP Self-Certification
For CPTPP-member destinations (Singapore, Vietnam), Canadian exporters self-certify origin — no government stamp needed.
Frequently asked questions
Korean Air's YHZ freighter is built around Nova Scotia's seafood exports moving into Asia via Seoul — that's real and already confirmed on our Kuala Lumpur page (3x weekly, primarily outbound-from-Canada capacity). What we don't have confirmed is a same-carrier onward leg from Seoul to each of our 8 specific ASEAN/India destinations composed from this direction — so rather than assume that capacity exists, we're flagging it as unconfirmed instead of publishing a routing table we can't stand behind.
