How to Estimate Freight and Import Costs
Build landed-cost estimates in stages: shipment volume and weight, freight, tariff classification, duties and taxes, then destination charges and final delivery.
1. Confirm shipment dimensions and weight
Calculate CBM and, where relevant, chargeable weight using the actual packing plan and carrier rules.
2. Get a freight planning estimate
Compare route, mode, transit assumptions and excluded charges before treating a freight quote as usable.
3. Check official tariff sources
Identify the likely classification, base duty rate, origin rules and additional import measures for the destination market.
4. Track schedule and shipment status
Use carrier schedules and tracking for logistics coordination, while allowing for schedule changes and milestone delays.
