International Cargo Price Factors

Weight & volumetric size

Carriers charge whichever is greater: actual or volumetric weight (L×W×H cm ÷ 5000).

Origin & destination

Route zone determines the base rate. Remote or island destinations carry access surcharges.

Service level

Economy vs express. Express costs 40–80% more but offers next-day or time-guaranteed delivery.

Fuel surcharge

All carriers apply a fuel surcharge updated monthly — typically 10–25% of the base rate.

Customs (international)

Cross-border shipments may attract import duties and VAT at destination — declared value required.

Save on International Shipping

Economy Air

Save 40–60% vs express

If 5–10 days is acceptable, economy air is dramatically cheaper than express.

Sea Freight

Most cost-effective

LCL sea freight for heavy cargo is 70–80% cheaper than air — ideal for non-urgent shipments.

Volume

Business rates

Regular international shippers save 20–45% on contract rates vs. per-shipment retail pricing.

International Fuel & Security Surcharges

Air freight carries fuel and security surcharges (20–35% of base rate). Sea freight carries bunker adjustment factors. All are included in the quoted price.
