The price of employing a freight forwarder for air cargo depends on the shipment weight and volume, origins and destinations, type of cargo, kind of customs, additional services, and other factors. Most air freight is charged based on what is termed chargeable weight. This is the weight that out of the two (actual weight and volumetric weight) is the greater. The total cost may consist of the charge for air freight, handling, documentation, clearance, and customs charges, security, fuel surcharges, storage, and the cost of delivery. A good freight forwarder like Zipaworld handles the entire process of air cargo for their client which includes shipping, documentation, dealing with customs, tracking, and delivering the cargo to its final destination. Businesses can significantly reduce their air freight outlay through optimization of packaging, consolidation of shipments, advance planning, and most especially in selecting the service option that best suits their required delivery time.
