How Much The Shipping Cost From China To India Per KG
Air Shipping Cost Per Kg
To calculate the cost of air shipments by multiplying the “chargeable weight” rate (given per kg/lbs), first needed to know the weight or volume of products.
For example:
2.4kg cost per kg
Cargo 1400 mm x 1000 mm x 1270 mm Dimensions
1.030 CBM
138kg gross weight
Weight to be charged: 1.030 x 167 = 172.01kg
Because the chargeable weight exceeds the gross weight in this situation, we must increase the cost per KG by the chargeable weight.
Total China to India shipping cost: 172.01x 2.4 = US $413
Sea Shipping Cost Per Kg
Sea freight charges are based on a number of variables, including the cost per kg of goods and the amount of space they take up aboard the ship.
