HOW TO CALCULATE FREIGHT COSTS

Ocean Freight
The higher of the 2 values, weight or volume, is multiplied by the weight rate.
To calculate the Volume/Measure in cubic feet (ft.³), multiply Width by Breadth by Height (in inches) and divide by 1728. Divide the result by 35.315 for m³.

Rates are quoted by Weight or Measure, eg. $180.00 W/M. This means the rate is applied per ton or 2,000-lb. (Weight) or 40 ft.³ / 1.13m³ (Measure), which ever is greater.

For example, freight cost on a cargo of TILES weighing 8,000-lb or 4 tons and measuring 64 cu. ft./1.81 m³ would be calculated as follows.

• 8,000 lb ÷ 2,000 = 4 tons (W)
• 64 cu. ft ÷ 40 = 1.6 (M), OR
• 1.81 m³ ÷ 1.13 = 1.6 m³

You would use the higher factor of 4 and multiply it by the freight rate, $180.00 to derive at the cost of $720.00.

To this freight cost, port and other handling charges, documentation fees and duties/taxes, will have to be added. Please contact us for a quotation.

The above is a basic guide only,as there are variations between UK/Europe and USA standards.
