Please note
- Estimates use our current typical rates where we publish them, based on the details you enter; other lanes and modes are quoted on request. An estimate is not a quote; every booking gets a dated, itemised quote.
- Freight ranges exclude destination port and terminal charges, customs clearance, duties, taxes, insurance and inland delivery.
- Air freight is charged on the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000).
- Air shipments up to 50 kg chargeable weight are priced from our courier rate card where published; over 50 kg, the team quotes each shipment.
- Sea LCL is charged on the greater of cubic metres and metric tonnes, with a usual minimum of 1 CBM.
- Dangerous goods ship subject to approval. Declare them and send the Safety Data Sheet with your enquiry.
- Transit times are typical, not guaranteed, and depend on the sailing or flight, transshipments and clearance.
