How Freight Rates Work

A plain-English guide to what goes into LCL, FCL, air and trucking rates.

Freight rates combine the main transport charge with origin handling, destination handling, documentation, fuel and security surcharges, and any pickup, delivery, storage or customs scope.

Why rates change

  • -Carrier capacity and sailing cutoffs.
  • -Commodity, weight, dimensions and stackability.
  • -Incoterm and door service requirements.
  • -Dangerous goods, heavy pieces or out-of-gauge cargo.

What the estimator returns

The estimator gives non-binding options with line-item breakdowns. A booking request remains pending until Zhenghe staff review space, documents and final payable charges.
