Overseas Shipping Rates

Overseas shipping rates will vary widely depending on the season, the size of the load, and the type of transport selected. For example, transporting a load via cargo ship is often the least expensive option, but it can take anywhere from two weeks to a month or more to get from point A to point B. Air freight, on the other hand, is more expensive, but usually only takes a few days.

There are also several taxes and fees associated with international shipping that can have an impact on the total cost. Some examples include duties and taxes, customs charges, port fees, storage expenses, and insurance for your cargo. A lot goes into the overseas shipping process, which is why shippers without an established transport network often work with freight forwarders.
