International consolidation shipping, as a convenient and efficient logistics method, is highly favored by overseas shoppers. While enjoying the convenience of consolidation shipping, we also need to consider various fees.
When sending international express shipments, in addition to the basic parcel transportation fees, there may be additional fees involved.
Parcel transportation fees are the most fundamental fees in international consolidation shipping. They are calculated based on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the parcels.
During the process of international consolidation shipping, there may be the following additional fees:
During peak seasons when the volume of parcels increases and manpower is limited, logistics companies may impose peak season surcharges to cope with the high transportation demands.
If the dimensions or weight of a parcel exceed the limits set by the logistics company, additional oversize or overweight fees may apply.
If the delivery address is located in a remote area, logistics companies may charge additional fees to compensate for the extra delivery costs.
Special delivery situations, such as deliveries to remote areas or address changes, may incur extra charges.
If the parcels contain hazardous materials, logistics companies may charge additional fees to ensure safe transportation.
Customs duties and taxes need to be considered during international consolidation shipping. Each country/region has its own import tax policies, and relevant taxes may need to be paid based on the value and category of the parcels.
