1. Rate Standard
(1) Registered rate: standard rate x actual weight x discount + registered fee of 8 yuan = total amount.
(2) Surface mail rate: standard rate x actual weight x discount = total amount.
For example, if you want to ship 200g to South Korea, the current discount is 30% and the standard rate is 71.5 yuan/kg.
Surface mail: 71.5 yuan/kg x 0.2kg x 70% = 10.01 yuan.
Registered mail: 71.5 yuan/kg x 0.2kg x 70% + 8 yuan registration fee = 18.01 yuan.
