What affects your price

Every shipment is priced on its own details. These are the factors a freight agent looks at when preparing your quote.

Estimate volume and weight
  • Mode of transport

    Ocean (LCL or FCL), air or RORO. Air is fastest; ocean is usually the most economical for heavy or bulky cargo.

  • Volume and weight

    Ocean freight is mostly priced by volume (CBM); air freight by actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater.

  • Origin and destination

    The ports or airports involved, the distance, and current carrier schedules and surcharges on that lane.

  • Container type

    A 20', 40', 40' high cube, reefer, flat-rack or open-top container each has its own cost.

  • Customs clearance

    Duties and taxes are set by the authorities, not by us, and depend on the goods, their value and their classification.

  • Cargo insurance

    Optional coverage is based on the declared value of your goods.

  • Pickup and door delivery

    Collecting at your door or delivering to an address adds trucking, compared with port-to-port or drop-off.
