Questions about our shipping calculator

Understand how our estimates are built, what's included, and when a formal quote is needed.

Each category has a base rate per kilogram plus a fixed handling fee. We multiply by your chargeable weight, apply the service-speed multiplier, add optional insurance, then clamp the result between the $200 minimum and $15,000 maximum.

The $200 minimum covers fixed operational costs — documentation, security screening, and handling — regardless of shipment size. It ensures every shipment receives the same level of care and compliance.

The $15,000 cap reflects the maximum a standard online estimate can produce. For larger or more complex shipments (e.g., full container loads or oversized machinery), please contact our team for a bespoke quote.

Chargeable weight is the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ 5000 for air freight). Carriers charge based on the space your shipment occupies, not just what it weighs.

No — the online estimate covers transportation, handling, and optional insurance. Customs duties, VAT, and other destination charges are calculated separately based on your HS codes and destination country. See our Customs Clearance page for details.

It is a realistic estimate, not a binding quote. Fuel surcharges, remote-area fees, and seasonal demand can affect the final price. Click "Request Formal Quote" to lock in a guaranteed rate within 2 business hours.
