General, non-sensitive cargo; no oversized items; commercial delivery with unloading access. LCL rates are shown per CBM (cubic metre), using the calculator’s volume-based charging option. The example shipment is 1 CBM; weight is a billing assumption only (100 kg). Dense cargo and minimum billable volumes can increase the charged CBM. Air examples use 100 kg actual weight and 0.1 m³, with 100 kg chargeable weight. Container examples use one 20FT or 40HC container. LCL examples show separate cargo-value bands when configured. Exactly the threshold amount stays in the lower band; the higher rate applies only above it. Air examples use AUD 1,000 of goods; FCL examples use the USD equivalent of AUD 10,000 at the configured exchange rate. Each breakdown states its declared goods value.
Prices use the configured standard service, not a confirmed sailing or postcode-specific delivery quote. Local China pickup, insurance, special handling, inspections, storage, residential unloading and remote-area surcharges are excluded. Transit timing depends on the service; see each breakdown for the starting point. Inspection delays are excluded. Final costs depend on your shipment and address.
