Cost = Max(Weight, Volume × 167) × Rate

Sea Freight (LCL)

Charged based on volume (CBM) or weight (Ton), whichever is higher (1 CBM = 1 Ton).

Cost = Max(Volume, Weight) × Rate

Road Freight

Dependent on distance, truck type, and fuel surcharges. Often priced per km or per zone.

Cost = (Distance × Rate/km) + Standing Charges
