The calculation of international express freight is a more complex process, and the standard of its charge is mainly divided into two calculation methods: according to the actual weight, according to the volume weight, and in between, according to the larger one. This is the common billing standard for international couriers so far. Below we help you further understand the international express cost through a detailed explanation of the calculation of TakeSendShip international express costs.
The dimensional weight of international express delivery is calculated as: the total number of the goods itself multiplied by the length, width and height (cm) divided by 5000 (special express may be calculated according to 6000), and the answer is its dimensional weight.
If the measured volumetric weight is less than the actual weight of the goods themselves. Then you will be billed according to the actual weight.
In international express, there are billing methods for the first weight and the second weight, usually the first weight is 500G/0.5KG, and the goods less than 0.5KG are calculated according to the weight of 0.5KG. The continuation weight is calculated according to the standard of the corresponding international courier company.
The address of international express mailing may be remote to the recipient's address, and the international express company needs to pay more manpower and material resources to deliver. Naturally, I want the sender to go through a certain remote delivery fee. Therefore, before delivery, it is necessary to check whether the address belongs to a remote area in detail.
Fuel is an additional charge for international air freight courier costs. It is usually charged as a percentage of the total shipping cost. This fee tends to fluctuate with international oil prices. The update frequency is more common than once a month.
Customs clearance fee, if the parcel of international express is sampled by the customs to pay customs duties, then the sender or international logistics company also needs to clear customs for them, and after completing the customs payment, the customs will release the goods. This part of the fee is called the customs clearance fee. Whether or not the goods are subject to customs duties is related to the value of the goods actually sent.
Sum up:
International express fee = parcel freight remote surcharge fuel surcharge customs clearance fee.
