Air freight costs from China can vary significantly based on several factors, including the weight and dimensions of the shipment, the chosen carrier, and the specific route. Here’s a general overview of what you might expect:

1. Cost Estimates:

• Express Air Freight (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS):
  • Cost: Typically ranges from $30 to $100+ for packages under 2 kg. For larger packages (5 kg and up), costs generally fall between $5 to $10 per kg.
  • Delivery Time: 1-5 business days.
• Regular Air Freight:
  • Cost: Prices usually start around $5 to $10 per kg for larger shipments.
  • Delivery Time: Typically takes 3-7 days.

2. Weight and Dimensions:

• Shipping costs are often calculated based on the actual weight or dimensional weight (whichever is greater). Dimensional weight is calculated using the formula:
  [
  \text{Dimensional Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm)}}{5000}
  ]
• It’s essential to measure and weigh your packages accurately to get a correct quote.

3. Additional Costs:

• Fuel Surcharges: These can vary based on current fuel prices and may be added to the base shipping cost.
• Customs Duties: Be aware that customs duties and taxes may apply when importing goods into the destination country.
• Insurance: Consider purchasing insurance for valuable items, as this will add to the overall shipping cost.

4. Freight Forwarders:

• If you’re shipping larger volumes or need a more tailored service, consider using a freight forwarder. They can help negotiate better rates and handle logistics more efficiently.

5. Online Quotes:

• Most major carriers and freight forwarders have online calculators where you can input your shipment details to receive an estimated quote.
