How to use
Choose mode: Sea, Air, or Rail.
- Sea → FCL/LCL: Pick FCL for full containers (then select 20ft / 40ft / 40HC). Pick LCL to price by volume (m³) and select an LCL rate ($80 / $100 / $150 per m³).
- Air: Enter weight (kg) and volume (m³). The tool uses volumetric weight = max(weight, m³×167) at $7/kg.
- Rail (FCL): Flat $10,000 per container; no weight/volume needed.
Service level: Port-to-Port (1.00) or Door-to-Door (1.18)—this multiplies the base to include first/last-mile handling.
Lane factor (Sea only): Keep 1.00 for standard lanes; use 1.03 (South China → West Europe) or 1.05 for peak/deviation periods.
Insurance (optional): Toggle Yes and enter goods value (USD) to add 0.6%.
Get your result: Instant USD estimate with a decimal period (e.g., 1,234.56). For a firm quote, submit your details—CBIC Europe will confirm current space, surcharges, and transit times.
