What this figure covers, and what can change a live quote
- LCL benchmark for cartons, pallets, or crates that are above parcel limits but below full-container economics.
- Ocean freight only; destination CFS, customs, duties, delivery, accessorials, and storage can change a live quote.
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.
