Transportation LCL cost
There are two units of calculation for the freight of bulk goods by sea:
1. weight ton: one metric ton (1 TNE= 1000KGM) is regarded as a freight ton according to the gross weight of the goods;
2. Tonnage: according to the gross weight of goods, one cubic meter (1 cubic meter; ; Short name 1MTQ or 1CBM or1cum; ; Also known as one ton) is a freight ton.
When calculating the sea freight, the exporter should first calculate the product volume according to the quoted quantity, and then find the freight rate corresponding to the destination port of the goods. If the quoted quantity is just enough for the whole case (20' cases or 40' cases), the freight rate will be directly taken as the basic freight rate; If the whole container is not enough, the sea freight will be calculated according to the total volume (or total weight, whichever is more expensive) ×LCL price.
The specific calculation formula is as follows:
Total product quantity × LCL price = freight.
Total product weight × LCL price = freight.
See which value is larger, and then take the larger value as the bulk freight. If you want to know more, you can go to the information contest or go to the Fubu forum to ask.
Of course, the above is just a simple freight. There may be other extra charges for the whole LCL transportation. The items charged by each port are different, depending on the relevant requirements of port companies and shipping companies. I suggest you consult the freight forwarding company.
Freight composition of container transportation by sea
Freight unit refers to the basic unit used by shipping companies to calculate freight. Due to the variety of goods, different packaging conditions and different modes of transportation, the freight calculation standards are also different. Container is the freight unit of the whole container transportation. There are two kinds of containers in international trade: 20-foot container and 40-foot container. 20' effective container volume is 25CBM, weight limit 17.5TNE, 40' effective container volume is 55CBM, weight limit is 26TNE, where 1tne = 1000 KGS.
The freight of marine containers mainly consists of three parts:
1, basic freight
Basic freight = basic freight per unit x full containers
2. Surcharge charged by the shipping company
1. Port surcharge = unit port surcharge × number of containers.
B, fuel surcharge = unit fuel surcharge × whole cabinet number
C. bill of lading costs
D, origin receipt fee
E. Others
3. Other special surcharges (depending on the specific time and region, etc.). )
1. Currency depreciation surcharge (CAF)
B. Counter-terrorism information fee
Comprehensive rate increase surcharge (GRI)
D, overweight, super long, super surcharge
E. port congestion surcharge
F. Port safety facilities fee
G, peak season surcharge (PSS)
H, others
To sum up, the shipping container freight = basic freight+shipping company surcharge+special attachment fee. Of course, the above are just some common basic expenses, which will be different in different seasons according to different docks and different shipping companies, but the calculation of expenses is only the sum of these expenses.
