FAQ

What is chargeable weight in air freight?

Air freight is charged on whichever is higher — actual weight or volumetric weight (CBM × 167). Lightweight bulky cargo is billed on volumetric weight.

What is THC in shipping?

Terminal Handling Charges are levied by the port for handling containers. Charged per container (FCL) or per CBM (LCL), separate from ocean freight rate.

How can I reduce shipping costs?

Consolidate shipments to fill containers, negotiate long-term contracts with shipping lines, use less congested ports, and plan shipments to avoid peak season surcharges.
