International freight rates: a price based on your shipment
No fixed rate card: every freight quote reflects the mode of transport, weight, volume, Incoterm and formalities involved, so you get a fair price.
How is the cost of a shipment calculated?
Every shipment is different: the rate depends on a few simple factors. Knowing them helps you prepare an accurate quote request.
Volume in m³ (groupage)
With LCL, you pay for the space your goods take up in the shared container, calculated per cubic metre.
The container (FCL)
For a full container load, the price depends on the container type, the route and the season.
The Incoterm
It sets out who pays for what between seller and buyer: collection, freight, destination charges, delivery.
Customs and insurance
Formalities, any duties and taxes, and the insurance you choose are added to the transport cost.

FAQ
Why don’t you publish fixed prices?
Freight rates vary with the route, the season, available capacity and the goods themselves. A quote based on your actual shipment avoids unpleasant surprises.
Is the quote free?
Yes, requesting a quote is free and without obligation. You are then entirely free to decide.
What does the quoted price include?
The quote itemises every cost: collection, main carriage, origin and destination charges, plus customs and insurance if requested. You know exactly what is included and what is not.
How do I get the most accurate rate?
Provide precise information: weight, dimensions of each package, type of goods, full addresses and Incoterm. Compact packing also reduces the volume charged.
