Air Freight vs. Sea Freight
Choose between air freight for faster transit times or frete marítimo for cost-effectiveness. Here’s a breakdown of the costs:
Frete Aéreo
Para frete aéreo, the chargeable weight is the greater of the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Let’s calculate the cost for a shipment of 100 kg of general cargo to Johannesburg:
Volume Weight = (Length × Width × Height in cm) / 6000
Assuming the dimensions are 120cm x 100cm x 80cm:
Volume Weight = (120 × 100 × 80) / 6000 = 16 kg
Chargeable Weight = Max(100 kg, 16 kg) = 100 kg
Cost = First 0.5kg $19.50 + (100 – 0.5)kg × $6.50 = $19.50 + $645 = $664.50
Frete Marítimo
For sea freight, the minimum charge is 0.5 CBM. Let’s calculate the cost for a shipment of 5 CBM of general cargo to Johannesburg:
Cost = 5 CBM × $270/CBM = $1,350
Itens especiais
Special items like baterias or sensitive cargo have additional charges. For example, a shipment of pure batteries to Johannesburg would cost:
Cost = First 0.5kg $23.00 + (100 – 0.5)kg × $8.70 = $23.00 + $837.50 = $860.50
