Freight rate calculation rules:
First, if there is an agreed freight rate between the origin and destination of the route, the agreed freight rate shall be used first.
Second, the published direct freight rate under the same conditions shall give priority to the designated commodity freight rate. If the conditions for the designated commodity freight rate are not fully met, the grade cargo freight rate and the ordinary cargo freight rate may be used.
Third, when the designated commodity freight rate cannot be used, the grade cargo freight rate shall be used first.
Fourth, when the goods do not meet the above calculation methods, the ordinary cargo freight rate shall be used for calculation.
Fifth, if there is no published direct freight rate between the two places of transportation, the unpublished direct freight rate shall be used. The unpublished direct freight rate can be calculated based on the proportional freight rate, or the freight can be calculated in sections.
Other expenses:
In international air cargo transportation, in addition to the air freight incurred during the entire transportation process from the transportation origin to the transportation destination, other expenses related to air transportation will often occur at the transportation origin, transit station, and destination station, such as freight bill fees, advance payment, ground transportation handling fees, customs clearance fees, inspection fees, freight collect fees, fuel fees, fees, dangerous goods handling fees, etc.
The difference between traditional air transportation and air delivery transportation:
Traditional air transportation and air delivery transportation are the same in the export process, document circulation and business operation process of the domestic section, but the traditional air transportation business goods only stay at the airport terminal or the overseas buyer’s warehouse, while air delivery transportation extends the logistics service chain to the end consumers. When the goods arrive at the overseas airport warehouse or the designated warehouse of the cross-border e-commerce seller, the warehouse operator completes the sorting of the goods (which can be distinguished according to different logistics companies), and the overseas commercial express staff picks up the goods at the warehouse and delivers the goods directly to the end consumers according to the customer information provided by the sales platform.
