Shipping Costs and Freight Forwarding Fees

How are shipping costs calculated when using a Freight Forwarder?

Shipping costs are determined by several factors, including:

  • Weight and Dimensions of the Package: Freight forwarders typically charge based on either the actual weight or the volumetric weight (the space the package occupies), whichever is greater.
  • Shipping Destination: Shipping rates vary depending on the destination country and region.
  • Shipping Method: You may have the option to choose between different shipping methods (e.g., express, standard, economy). Express shipping is faster but more expensive.
  • Fuel Surcharges and Other Fees: Freight forwarders may add fuel surcharges or other fees to the base shipping rate.
