Freight shipping, as the name suggests, refers to the transportation of goods. It includes the entire process of transporting goods from one location to another. This process involves a variety of modes of transportation, such as sea, air, land and rail transportation.

A clothing company shipped 500 kg of clothing from Shanghai to Dubai. The cargo volume is 2 cubic meters. ● Air freight: about $5-6/kg, a total of about $2,500-3,000. ● Airport fee: about $150-200. ● Customs clearance fee: about $100-150. ● Insurance: about 0.3% of the value of the goods. Assuming the value of the goods is $20,000, the insurance is about $60.

Shipping cost is a broad concept that covers all costs in the process of transporting goods, including basic transportation costs and other additional costs. Freight cost is a narrow concept that mainly refers to the basic transportation costs of goods, excluding other additional costs.
