How the Estimate Works
Each shipping method has its own billing basis. Our estimator mirrors the same rules freight forwarders and carriers apply every day:
Air Freight & Express
Billed on chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H cm ÷ 6000 for air, ÷ 5000 for express).
Sea Freight LCL
Billed per cubic meter (CBM). Volume is king in LCL — even light cargo is charged per CBM.
Sea Freight FCL
Billed per container — choose your container type (20GP, 40GP, 40HQ or 45HQ) and the estimate reflects that size.
DDP Air & DDP Sea
Door-to-door all-in pricing: ocean or air freight, destination customs clearance, import duties & taxes and final delivery to your door. DDP is one of Dantful.US core services for the Americas.
PRO TIP
For air and express, estimate with chargeable weight (the higher of actual or volumetric) — not gross weight — or your quote will come out too low. For sea freight, CBM matters more than weight: measure your cartons and add 5–10% for palletization.
