* FCL automatically recommends a 20ft or 40ft container based on volume. Air freight is billed on whichever is greater: actual weight or volumetric weight (chargeable weight).
Actual freight varies with market conditions, fuel/currency surcharges (BAF/CAF), and peak-season surcharges (PSS). Contact us for an exact quote.
Request an Accurate QuoteAir freight bills the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (volume ÷ 6,000). Ocean freight uses 1 CBM = 1,000 kg and bills the greater of actual weight and volume.
* Duty rates are calculated on Korean customs values and vary by HS code. The default (8%) is illustrative, so confirm the exact rate with a licensed customs broker.
This is a simplified estimate assuming the VAT base equals CIF + duty. Excise tax, exemptions, and other adjustments are not reflected.
Utilization is a reference estimate based on maximum container capacity. Actual loading depends on box shape and stacking method.
Reefer containers for fresh/frozen food carry flat add-on costs — terminal handling (THC) differential, equipment, and power. Since this flat cost doesn't scale with distance, shorter routes with lower base freight show a higher surcharge percentage, and longer routes show a lower one.
* The flat add-on is an estimate based on THC differential plus reefer equipment/power premium (KRW 800K for 20ft / KRW 1.2M for 40ft). LCL and air fresh food lack sufficient flat-cost data, so we estimate roughly +50% (LCL) / +30% (air) over the standard rate. Actual quotes vary by carrier and season — contact us for an exact figure.
The same flat cost produces a higher surcharge percentage on shorter, cheaper routes and a lower one on longer, pricier routes.
