Foshan → Prince Rupert.
Reference freight-market data — LCL rate, MFN duty, and ocean-transit envelope. DAF tracks these numbers so the DAF Global Connect landed-cost math on client plans stays honest, even when DAF itself sources through the Collective and Eprolo network.
About this lane.
Foshan (Guangzhou). Freight-market reference. Guangzhou-origin ocean rates that shape landed-cost math across furniture procurement worldwide. One of the reference freight markets DAF tracks. Not DAF's own supply lane — see /designers for the DAF Global Connect model.
Prince Rupert. Northern BC's ocean gateway. Sometimes cheaper than Vancouver for larger orders — DAF quotes both.
How DAF uses this data.
The rate above is the sea-freight component for this market. DAF's own sourcing runs through DAF Global Connect — Eprolo plus the brands in the DAF Shopify Collective — so freight is often bundled at the marketplace layer. Where DAF quotes a client-facing landed cost, it references these same market rates so the math the client sees is defensible.
When the range moves — as it did 28% between May and July 2026 on this lane — DAF absorbs the volatility inside the 20% ceiling. The client never sees a freight surcharge on a piece they already approved.
