Common questions

How is chargeable volume calculated?

LCL uses weight or measurement: the greater of the CBM and the gross weight in tonnes (1 CBM = 1,000 kg). Most consolidators also apply a 1 CBM minimum, which this calculator does.

Why is my forwarder’s total different?

Fuel surcharges, CFS handling, THC, documentation, minimums, insurance and currency conversion vary by forwarder and lane. Enter the quote and fees you were given; this is an estimate, not a quote.

Is the duty amount official?

No. The duty rate and HS classification are entered by you and applied to goods + freight + origin + insurance. GST/HST is then applied to that value plus duty. Confirm classification and rates with a customs broker.

What does the FCL comparison assume?

That the whole cargo fits in one container and that destination, brokerage and inland costs are the same as the LCL case. Real FCL quotes can include different CFS and delivery charges.

Does it store my shipment?

Not automatically. The calculation stays in your browser. Save comparison keeps up to five snapshots in this browser’s local storage until you delete them; they are not sent to us. Copy link puts the values after # in the URL, which browsers do not send to our server. Only the quote-currency pair is sent to fetch the FX rate.
