In the same line, due to the different grade of goods, the basic rate charged by shipping companies are different. Therefore, a great relationship with the level of grade of goods freight.
Secondly, bulk cargo transport cost calculation standards are not the same, such as the cargo according to the general weight tons transportation fee, light goods by measurement ton collection, some high value goods according to a certain percentage of the value of land FOB, some commodity according to the mixed way of land, for example according to the weight or measurement ton, then add some ad valorem freight, reflected in the tariff for:
Collecting a, according to weight, weight ton, Neleming "W", or per long ton per metric ton for the calculation of unit.
Two, according to the cargo volume of land, known as the measurement ton, Neleming "M", according to 1 cubic metres, or 40 cubic feet a ton as the unit of account.
Three, according to the volume or weight, by the selection and calculation, statement "W/M".
Four, according to a certain percentage of revenue FOB merchandise value, called the advalorem rate (Ad Valorem), Neleming Ad Val or A.V..
Five. According to the mixed standard collection, such as W/M plus AV etc.. That is according to the weight or measurement ton plus ad valorem freight. In addition, there are some goods by the piece (per unit) or head (per head) of land, the former such as vehicles, the latter as livestock etc..

According to the scale of bulk cargo transportation costs, is a complicated task, not only need the basic content of familiar tariff, also need careful work, in the calculation of freight, in addition to the route and the grade of goods, according to the basic rate (Basis Rate) to calculate the freight base, and then find out the additional cost of various the project, additional fees and will require the expenditure of one one count.
More, these additional cost items such as, due to different commodity, different ports, or other reasons, may have additional fees, but also grasp the changes it.
There are several additional fee:
Additional fee, commodity characteristics and income, such as overweight surcharge, long length additional, washing fee etc..
Additional fee of two, because of the different situation of port and income, such as port surcharge, port congestion surcharges, optional charge, direct additional etc..

We give one example. A shipment from Shanghai 10 tons, a total of 11.3 cubic meters of egg products, to the port of Plymouth, for direct, what is all the freight? Solution: the goods classification table shows, egg products is 10, to calculate the standard is W/M; the basic rate to check China - Europe Mediterranean routes grade rate table of 10 level of goods 116 yuan / ton; the additional rate table shows, Plymouth port direct additional fee, 18 yuan per ton; fuel surcharge of 35%. So, all the freight is: F= (116+116X35%+18) X11=1920.60 yuan in this example, 10 tons of egg products after the goods classification, calculation of the standard is W/M, which is larger as the standard calculation, is 11 ton.
