Frequently Asked Questions

How “fresh” are the ocean freight rates in the calculator?

We update the cargo shipping rates every month, but you should check with the rate provider in case of unexpected surcharges. Cargo container shipping can be unpredictable due to sanctions, port strikes, and congestion.
