First of all、 we need to know two concepts: billing weight unit、 first weight and additional weight

Billing weight unit: The international express industry generally takes 0.5KG (0.5kg) as a billing weight unit.

First weight and additional weight: the first 0.5KG is the first weight for international express delivery、 and every additional 0.5KG is an additional weight. Generally、 the cost of hoisting is higher than that of continuous hoisting.

There is one price between 0.5KG and 0.5KG、 which is the first weight price. The part exceeding 0.5KG will be charged according to the additional weight price

Therefore、 the actual freight is equal to the first weight price+additional weight price

When the actual weight of the goods to be delivered is greater than the volume weight、 the freight=first weight freight+(actual weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

When the actual weight of the delivered goods is small but the volume is large、 the freight=the first freight+(volume weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

Note that the freight here is only the basic freight、 not the final total cost、 and there may be other additional costs.

Packaging fee: Generally、 international express companies provide free packaging、 cartons、 bubbles and other packaging materials、 but many items、 such as clothing、 can be packaged without extra fine packaging、 but some express companies will charge a certain packaging fee for valuable and fragile items. Packaging costs are generally not included in the discount calculation.

Fuel surcharge: all major international express will be updated in real time according to market conditions. Please consult customer service for specific fees.

Other uncertain expenses: such as service fees in remote areas、 sensitive freight charges for sending batteries、 powders、 liquids、 food、 brands、 etc.、 which are mainly related to the items and regions you send.

Basically、 total cost=(freight+fuel surcharge) × Discount+packaging cost+other uncertain costs

In addition、 different countries and different logistics channels have different basic charging standards、 and the cost may also be affected by many factors such as flight outage. The specific charging standards can also be subject to the real-time quotation of the express company.

FBA's air transportation process is as follows:

1. Goods preparation: provide goods information、 such as product name、 number of packages、 weight、 box size、 destination and destination consignee name、 address、 telephone、 shipment time、 shipper name、 telephone、 address、 etc.

2. Booking space: the air transport export agency will print the total waybill number、 number of pieces、 weight、 volume and reserve space with the airline according to the designated pre allocation scheme、 flight and date.

3. Warehouse allocation: check the difference between the actual number、 weight and volume of goods and the forecast quantity in the consignment note. The effective use and reasonable allocation of reserved space and crates shall be carried out according to the aircraft type、 crate model、 height and quantity of each flight.

4. Export customs declaration: express customs declaration、 general trade customs declaration、 i.e. tax refund customs declaration、 ATA customs declaration、 etc.

5. Customs clearance: after the customs clearance seal is affixed on the waybill、 it is necessary to sign the waybill at the airline. Only after the confirmation of signing the waybill can the bill and goods be handed over to the airline

The cost of air transportation mainly includes freight and miscellaneous charges. The unit price of freight is calculated according to the weight grade. Generally、 there are several grades:

+45kg

+100kg

(Goods above 100kg)+300kg、+500kg、+1000kg

Generally、 if there is no corresponding level of freight rate、 the freight of goods is calculated according to the tact price. The billing weight of goods is also important. The weight of goods is divided into volume weight and gross weight in air transportation. When the volume weight is greater than the gross weight、 the volume weight is the billing weight of the goods. When the volume weight is less than the gross weight、 the actual gross weight is the billing weight.

Miscellaneous charges include many aspects、 generally including storage costs、 fuel surcharges、 war risks、 etc

Fuel surcharges and war risks are products under specific circumstances. Generally、 the company's quotation is included in the freight.

International air express delivery costs are calculated in kilograms、 100 yuan per kilogram、 and 1 kilogram or less

Of course、 there are also many overseas warehouses operated by Chinese people. Of course、 not all products are suitable for overseas warehouses. Those products with high value、 high profit、 or large volume and weight are suitable for overseas warehouses、 or those products with high frequency of re purchase are suitable for overseas warehouses in advance. The overall overall cost is low and the delivery time efficiency is improved
