Estimate volume and weightMode 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.

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.
