Worked examples

Three shipments, worked through

The same arithmetic the estimator runs, applied to typical Bali shipments.

Indicative · 2025–26 bands

  • 5 CBM of furniture · Bali → Sydney, LCL sea

    Calculation
    5 CBM × USD 150–250 per CBM
    Indicative range
    USD 750–1,250, plus wood endorsement if applicable

  • 100 kg art crate · Bali → New York, air

    Calculation
    100 kg × USD 8–10, plus ~USD 50 security and 15–25% fuel
    Indicative range
    Roughly USD 970–1,300, freight side

  • 20 CBM villa contents · Bali → Los Angeles

    Calculation
    Above the 13 CBM break-even, so a 20ft flat rate applies
    Indicative range
    USD 2,500–4,500

Sydney cargo faces Australian biosecurity screening, with fumigation paperwork arranged before loading. The New York band applies from 100 kg; smaller air consignments cost more per kilo.

How the maths works

LCL: CBM × per-CBM band. FCL: flat container rate. Air: chargeable kg × per-kg band, plus security and fuel.

Volumetric weight

Air bills the greater of actual weight or L × W × H in cm ÷ 6,000.

What drives the estimate

Inputs and factors behind the band

Three inputs set the range; a few factors decide where in it you land.

01 / 06
  • CBM / KG 01 / 06

    Volume or weight

    Sea LCL is priced per cubic metre; air per kilogram on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater.

    LCL shipping
  • LANE 02 / 06

    Destination

    USA, Australia or Europe — each lane carries its own band and transit window.

    Shipping to the USA
  • MODE 03 / 06

    LCL, FCL or air

    Share a container below about 13 CBM; above it a 20ft usually wins. Air suits urgent, high-value cargo.

    FCL containers
  • FUEL 04 / 06

    Fuel and season

    Fuel surcharges rose about 12% in 2025. Booking off-peak, clear of the Q4 surge, keeps you low in the band.

  • EXTRA 05 / 06

    Endorsements & insurance

    Wood or stone endorsements and phytosanitary certificates depend on your goods. Insurance runs about 2% of declared value.

  • DUTY 06 / 06

    Not in the estimate

    Destination import duty, GST/VAT and customs charges are paid by the consignee — stated on your all-in quote.

Calculator questions

Using the cost calculator

All shipping questions
How accurate is the calculator?

It uses published 2025–2026 rate bands, so most shipments land inside the range shown. Fuel surcharges, wood or stone endorsements and season shift the final figure — which the all-in quote confirms within 24 business hours.

Should I enter actual or volumetric weight for air?

Airlines charge whichever is greater: actual weight, or volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 6,000). A light but bulky rattan chair is billed on volume, so measure before you calculate.

Does the estimate include import duty?

No. The consignee — you, as importer — pays destination duty, GST or VAT and customs charges on arrival. The estimate covers the freight side from Bali; your quote states any consignee-payable amounts explicitly.

Why a range instead of one number?

Published bands move with the market — fuel surcharges rose about 12% in 2025. Port pair, packing and endorsements shift the figure too. The range brackets realistic outcomes; the 24-hour quote pins the exact price.

What do I need before using the calculator?

Volume in CBM (or weight in kg for air), your destination and the cargo type. Rough measurements are fine — exact dimensions are verified during export packing.
