Air Freight FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a freight forwarder?

Freight forwarder is a company that arranges transportation of cargo from suppliers to importers and consignees around the world. Freight forwarders provide all the transportation and much of the customs and carrier documentation required to provide these services.

Is it necessary to insure the cargo?

Carriers have significant limitations on the amount of compensation they will offer you should they damage or lose your cargo. According C&F, insurance is not mandatory, but we highly recommend it. We can provide complete insurance coverage.

What are the options for shipping via ocean freight?

Generally, ocean freight is shipped either via Full Container Load (FCL) or Less-than-container Load (LCL) Shippers with large volumes of cargo will fill either a 20’ or 40’ FCL. Smaller shipments are more economically handled via LCL.

What are Incoterms?

Incoterms are a series of standard trade definitions or international sales terms, published by International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and establish which party is responsible for costs and risks such as transport costs, insurance, duties payable and customs clearance.

Why are the shipping rates so volatile?

Shipping rates respond to market conditions, they are a function of the relationship between carrier capacity and shipping demand, they are also linked to the cost of fuel, and frequently adjusted up and down based on the world cost of oil.

What is the volume weight?

Carriers may apply their rates to your shipments based on “volumetric weight,” rather than actual weight. This is a calculation based on a factor of 167 KGs per CBM for the airfreight, 333 KGs per CBM for trucking and for Ocean LCL the factor is 1 Ton per CBM.

What are the capacities for ocean containers?

Most containers are either 20-feet long or 40-foot long. Their capacity for cargo is approximately 33 cubic meters (CBM) for a 20-foot container and 67 CBM for a 40-foot container. Weight limitations are different in most countries.

What are dangerous goods?

Dangerous Goods are items that may endanger the safety of an aircraft or persons on board the aircraft. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or the local Civil Aviation Authority Regulations govern their carriage onboard aircraft.
