Estimates only. These are indicative market ranges, not a quote. Rates change weekly with fuel, season, space and carrier surcharges. Local charges at origin and destination, customs, duties, taxes, insurance and inland delivery are not included.

LCL is charged per W/M: 1 CBM or 1,000 kg, whichever is greater (minimum 1). Air is charged per chargeable kg: the greater of gross weight and volume weight (CBM × 166.67).

Sources and assumptions

  • Ocean freight, port to port, with the usual carrier surcharges included. Main ports from Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Guangzhou; northern ports carry a small uplift.
  • Air freight, airport to airport, general cargo from 100 kg. Small parcels by courier cost more per kg.
  • Ranges built from public market data reviewed in October 2026: Drewry World Container Index (Shanghai to Rotterdam, Genoa, Los Angeles and New York), the Hapag-Lloyd Far East to Latin America rate increase of 15 October 2026, and public forwarder rate pages for Mexico, Brazil and South America. Air ranges from public forwarder rate tables and the TAC / Baltic air freight index trend.
  • Venezuela, the Caribbean and Central America usually move via transshipment, so ranges are wider.
