What expenses will be incurred when the whole container is transported abroad by international sea

1、 Ocean freight

Ocean freight=unit basic freight * number of containers

2、 Surcharge

(1) Port surcharge=unit port surcharge * number of containers

Port congestion surcharges, also known as vessel congestion surcharges, are temporary surcharges levied on goods transported to the port of discharge due to prolonged berthing due to vessel congestion.

There are two kinds of surcharges, which are calculated according to a certain amount and a certain percentage of freight. Ship congestion mostly occurs in ports of developing countries, mainly due to poor port equipment, weak import planning, unstable political situation, strikes, slowdowns, low labor enthusiasm and other reasons. As far as the increase of freight rate is concerned, each shipping association usually announces a certain implementation notice period. However, if the congestion of ships is caused by accident, it can also be collected without notice according to the emergency provisions of the association.

(2) Fuel surcharge=unit fuel surcharge * number of containers

Fuel surcharges generally mean that when fuel has to be recharged at a price higher than the average price or higher than the price of fuel commonly used, the oil price and its difference are usually transferred to each ton of goods or shared to the basic rate.

This surcharge is calculated by dividing the difference between the total fuel cost of a voyage when operating at normal prices and the total fuel cost after price increase by the ship's loading capacity to calculate the difference to be borne by each deadweight ton. Or, calculate the proportion that the rising price is higher than the normal price, and divide it by the basic rate to calculate the percentage that the basic rate should add.

(3) Bill of lading fee

The bill of lading is the only document of cargo ownership. After the cargo is declared, the freight forwarder will send the bill of lading to the shipper.

3、 Special Surcharges:

(1) Currency depreciation surcharge

Because regular routes usually involve countries using more than two different currencies, their freight rates must be denominated in a more stable currency, in most cases based on US dollars. Although there is no problem for countries to settle with major currencies such as the U.S. dollar at a certain exchange rate, if the stability of major currencies is relatively poor, the exchange of currencies above two countries under the jurisdiction of the Chamber will change.

(2) Surcharge for comprehensive rate increase

Surcharges for comprehensive rate rise are generally used for South American and American routes.

(3) Overweight, extra long, extra large surcharge

The extra long surcharge refers to the additional freight charged when the length of each commodity exceeds the specified length.

The overweight surcharge refers to the additional freight charged when the gross weight of each commodity exceeds the specified weight (different shipping companies have different regulations, including 2 metric tons, 3 metric tons or 5 metric tons). The overweight surcharge is charged by weight. The greater the weight, the higher the surcharge. If transshipment is required, an additional charge will be charged for each transshipment. Extra large surcharge refers to the surcharge charged when the gross weight or length or volume of a piece of goods exceeds or reaches the value specified in the tariff.
