What this figure covers, and what can change a live quote

  • Air benchmark is per chargeable kg; total shown multiplies the public index by the supplied chargeable weight.
  • Fuel, screening, pickup/delivery, airline capacity, and commodity restrictions must be checked before booking.

Parcel gate

If the shipment is roughly 30 kg / 0.2 CBM or smaller, this is parcel — use a parcel carrier. CargoPass quotes Ocean LCL, Air cargo and Domestic LTL pallets and crates only. Come back when a shipment goes over parcel limits.

How CargoPass is paid

The benchmark above and the live-lane rate email are free. If you want CargoPass to take the lane forward, the fee is a $99 booking fee. Freight is paid to the carrier or seller, not to CargoPass. CargoPass never takes custody, never issues a bill of lading and never holds freight money.
