Planning Tip
For time-sensitive cargo, consider air freight despite higher costs. The inventory carrying cost savings from faster transit often justify the premium. Calculate total landed cost, not just freight rates.
Ocean Freight
Most economical for large shipments
- • Most cost-effective for bulk cargo
- • Typical transit: 7-40 days depending on route
- • Best for non-urgent, heavy shipments
- • Subject to port congestion and weather
Air Freight
Fastest option for time-sensitive cargo
- • Fastest transit times (1-5 days typically)
- • Best for high-value, urgent shipments
- • Higher cost per kg
- • Limited cargo capacity
Rail Freight
Balanced option for intercontinental routes
- • Balance between air and sea transit times
- • Popular for Asia-Europe routes (18-20 days)
- • More environmentally friendly
- • Growing infrastructure globally
Important Notes
- • Transit times are estimates based on average routes and may vary due to weather, port congestion, customs delays, and other factors.
- • Buffer days should account for documentation, customs clearance, and potential delays.
- • For accurate quotes and transit times, consult with your freight forwarder.
