RA Machine is the CNC machine division of R.A. Auto Engineering Works, an engineering company in Kolkata, India, founded in 1989 and building machines since 2008. We make CNC laser and plasma cutting machines, MIG, TIG, MMA and submerged arc welding machines, and cobot and robotic welding systems, and supply them across India and abroad. We are GST registered, hold an Import Export Code for export, and have supplied Indian Railways since 2022 as a preferred vendor for certain safety-critical items. This page covers export details specific to Canada: manufacturing sectors we serve, shipping terms, power compatibility and the machines we supply there. More about RA Machine
Machines ship by sea to Port of Vancouver, Port of Montreal, Port of Halifax; urgent spares and small consignments travel by air to Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport. Quotations are issued in US dollars for consistency with our export documentation; buyers may arrange conversion to Canadian dollars with their bank at the time of transfer.

Why India
Documented quality
Written specifications and a pre-shipment inspection video support the due-diligence expectations of Canadian procurement teams used to European suppliers, at a materially lower price point.
Competitive pricing
English is the working language for both Ontario and Western Canada, so specifications, manuals and remote support calls proceed without translation delays.
Responsive support
The overlap between Indian Standard Time and Eastern/Pacific time zones allows scheduled video commissioning calls during the Canadian afternoon, which is Indian late evening or night, and this is planned in advance rather than left ad hoc.
Logistics & trade ties
Shipping via Vancouver on the Pacific route is often faster than equivalent European-sourced freight, since it avoids the longer round-the-world routing some European exporters use for Western Canadian deliveries.
Sectors
Canada's demand for cutting and welding capacity concentrates in a handful of manufacturing sectors, most visibly around Windsor, Ontario and Brampton, Ontario.

Shipping & terms
Cutting and welding machine demand in Canada
Canada's metal fabrication base is concentrated in southern Ontario and the Prairie provinces, supplying the automotive, construction and oil and gas equipment industries. Import demand for fiber laser cutting machines has risen as Ontario job shops upgrade from older cutting systems, while Alberta fabricators serving the energy sector look for heavier-duty machines able to cut thick structural plate.
Canadian buyers are typically price-sensitive relative to their US neighbours, and many compare Indian fiber laser offerings directly against Chinese and Korean imports, so clear technical documentation combined with English-language support gives Indian suppliers a clear edge in vendor evaluation.
Shipping terms and logistics
Sea freight to Vancouver from Kolkata or Haldia typically transships via Colombo or Singapore with an indicative transit of 30–38 days, while Eastern Canada via Montreal or Halifax routes through the Suez Canal with an indicative transit of 35–42 days. Both FOB Kolkata or Delhi and CIF nearest port terms are available. Standard export terms are FOB Kolkata or Delhi / CIF.
Warranty, spares and remote support
Machines carry a 12-month warranty on core systems, backed by remote diagnostic support typically within 4 working hours and stocked wear spares — nozzles, lenses, torch consumables, contact tips and drive rollers — for prompt air-freight dispatch to Canada. Customised extended warranty available on request.
Export orders are quoted on FOB Kolkata or Delhi / CIF terms, with 70% advance with confirmed order, 30% before shipment.
Currency and regulatory notes
Quotations are issued in US dollars for consistency with our export documentation; buyers may arrange conversion to Canadian dollars with their bank at the time of transfer.
Canadian provinces generally expect CSA-marked electrical panels for permanent installation, which we can supply on request, and import duty on industrial machine tools under Canada's tariff schedule is typically low but should be confirmed by the buyer's customs broker.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions — exporting to Canada
Can you quote a machine delivered to a Canadian address?
Yes. Send your cutting thickness, bed size and welding requirements through our enquiry form and we will issue a US-dollar quotation covering FOB Kolkata or Delhi and CIF options to Vancouver, Montreal or Halifax, along with confirmed lead time.
What Incoterms and shipping routes do you use for Canada?
We ship FOB Kolkata or Delhi as standard, with CIF available to your nearest port. Western Canada typically routes via Vancouver on the Pacific corridor, while Eastern Canada routes via the Suez Canal to Montreal or Halifax.
Will the machine work with Canadian industrial voltage?
Our machines can be configured to your facility's incoming supply, whether 600 V, 480 V or 208/240 V 3-phase, and we specify any transformer required as part of the installation package before shipment.
How do you handle installation and training given the distance?
Commissioning begins remotely by video call with our engineering team, and an on-site engineer visit is arranged for final alignment, safety checks and operator training, scheduled around your production calendar.
What warranty applies and how are spares supplied?
Every machine carries a 12-month warranty covering the laser or welding power source, drive and control system. Wear spares such as nozzles, lenses and torch consumables are kept in stock for prompt air-freight dispatch to Canadian addresses.
What payment terms do you offer Canadian buyers?
Standard terms are 30 percent advance with the order and 70 percent against pre-shipment inspection video and shipping documents, settled by wire transfer in US dollars.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production lead time is typically 6 to 8 weeks from confirmed specification and order, and we provide a firm shipping date at order confirmation along with the vessel booking once cargo is ready.
What documents does your customs broker need for import?
We supply a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin, sufficient for your broker to classify and clear the shipment under Canada's tariff schedule; any CSA or conformity documentation is confirmed at quotation.
