  What's the charge for shipping?

Generally, those involved in billing tons and CBM are LCL or bulk carriers.

Different shipping companies, freight forwarders, docks and warehouses have different methods of calculating sea freight for LCL. Some are charged according to the volume of the goods, and some are charged according to the weight of the goods.

A, the whole box: the whole box freight is divided into three parts, the total freight = the sum of the three parts.

1. Basic Freight Basic Freight = Unit Basic Freight × Number of Boxes

2. Port surcharge Port surcharge = unit port surcharge x number of whole containers

3. Fuel surcharge Fuel surcharge = unit fuel surcharge × number of whole containers

B, LCL: LCL freight only basic freight, divided into volume and weight calculation in two ways:

1, by volume, X1 = unit basic freight (MTQ) x total volume.

2. Calculated by weight, X2 = basic freight per unit (TNE)× total gross weight

The calculation method of billable tons (RT) is usually: choose the largest count between volume and weight. This is also common in air transport.

Later, freight forwarders charge according to CBM, that is, they charge according to volume (it is estimated that it is appropriate to charge according to volume after selecting a large plan).
