Sea freight is charged by volume in cubic metres (CBM), or by weight at 500 kg per CBM when that comes to more. Air freight is charged by chargeable weight in kilograms. Both are subject to a minimum charge, because a single carton still occupies a slot on a vessel.

The sea LCL and air rates are all-in, from our hub in China to your door in Singapore.
Storage: 5 days free at our Foshan hub while the rest of your consignment arrives, then S$20 per CBM per day.
A sea LCL shipment over 20 CBM needs another truck to deliver: S$300 for each further 20 CBM or part of it. To avoid it, book shipments of 20 CBM or less, or ask us about FCL.
We normally declare your goods under our own company, at no extra charge. The import permit (the CCP) is then in our name, so you cannot claim the GST on it. If your company is GST-registered and the goods are for the business, we can name your company as the importer instead. We still lodge the permit, and you get a copy of the CCP for your GST return.
| Mode | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Sea LCL | S$90 per CBM instead of S$82, plus S$30 per shipment for the permit |
| Sea FCL | S$40 per container, on top of the quote |
| Air freight | S$50 per shipment, on top of the rate per kg |
Choose “My company” when the quote form asks who the importer is. Whether you can claim depends on your registration and how the goods are used, so check the IRAS guidance or ask your accountant.
