What factors influence air freight prices?
Air freight prices are determined by a variety of factors, each contributing to the overall cost. At EDS, we value transparency, hence we want you to understand what exactly influences the pricing of our air freight services:
- Weight and volume of the shipment: The weight and size of your cargo are primary determinants of air freight costs. Airlines often charge based on the ‘volumetric weight’ of the shipment, which is calculated using the dimensions of the air freight container.
- Nature of the goods: Certain types of goods, such as hazardous materials, perishables, or high-value items, may require special handling or additional documentation. This could influence the cost of shipping.
- Speed and urgency: If your shipment is urgent, it may need to be sent on the next available flight, which can increase the cost. On the other hand, non-urgent shipments can be consolidated with other cargo, resulting in lower prices.
- Origin and destination: The distance between the pickup and delivery location also affects the cost. Further distances or shipping to remote locations typically increase the price.
- Customs and duties: Depending on the nature of the goods and the countries involved, there may be customs charges or duties that need to be paid. These costs are usually borne by the receiver, but they can affect the total cost of air freight.
