Accent figure is the cheapest mode for that lane at this volume. Air beats sea below roughly 300 kg; above 8 CBM a full container usually wins.
Chargeable weight, shown
Air quotes state gross, volumetric and chargeable weight separately. No surprises on the invoice.
1 CBM minimum on LCL
Sea LCL bills per cubic metre with a one-cubic-metre floor. We show it rather than bury it.
Origin charges itemised
Handling, documentation and customs filing as line items, not a lump "misc" charge.
Insurance at 0.35%
On declared cargo value. Optional, but a container is a bad thing to self-insure.
