How much does it cost per cubic meter to ship a vacuum cleaner to Indonesia by sea? he provided document, Indonesia Ocean Freight Quote, focuses on ocean freight rates and regulations, not air freight. It does not provide a specific method for calculating air freight costs. Therefore, I cannot give you a precise calculation based solely on this document.
However, I can provide general information about how air freight costs are typically calculated, and how the information in the note might be relevant:
Typical Air Freight Cost Calculation:
Air freight costs are generally based on the greater of two factors:
- Actual Weight (Gross Weight): The total weight of the shipment, including packaging.
- Dimensional Weight (Volumetric Weight): This reflects the amount of space the shipment occupies. It’s calculated using a formula that considers the package’s length, width, and height. The formula varies slightly between carriers, but a common one is:Dimensional Weight (kg) = (Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm)) / Dimensional Factor
The dimensional factor is usually 5000, 6000, or sometimes a different number, set by the air freight carrier.
How the Note is (Indirectly) Relevant:
- “Mobile Phone Accessories”: Xiaomi Mi Bands would likely fall under the “Mobile Phone Accessories” category in the note. The ocean freight price for this is Rp3,900,000.00. While this is not the air freight price, it gives you a very rough idea of the type of goods and the service (double clearance, including taxes) that Guangdong Smart Logistics provides.
- “Double Clearance”: The note emphasizes “Direct route double clearance tax quotation.” This means that whatever the final air freight price is, it will include Indonesian customs duties and taxes. This simplifies the process.
- Contact Information: The note provides the website of Guangdong Smart Logistics (). You must contact them directly to get an accurate air freight quote.
Steps to Get the Actual Cost:
- Contact Guangdong Smart Logistics: This is the most important step. Provide them with the following information:
- Product: Xiaomi Mi Bands (specify the model if there are variations with significantly different sizes/weights).
- Quantity: The number of Mi Bands you’re shipping.
- Packaging: Will they be in their original retail packaging? Will they be packed together in larger boxes? Provide the exact dimensions (length, width, height) and weight of the entire shipment as it will be delivered to their warehouse. If you don’t know the packed dimensions, provide the dimensions of the individual Mi Band boxes and the quantity, and ask them to estimate the packed dimensions.
- Origin: The location in China where the shipment will originate (likely their warehouse, but confirm).
- Destination: The full delivery address in Indonesia.
- Shipping Method: Explicitly state that you need a quote for air freight.
- Get a Quote: They will calculate the actual weight and dimensional weight, and provide you with a quote based on the higher of the two. The quote should include:
- Air freight charges.
- Any applicable surcharges (fuel, security, etc.).
- Confirmation that Indonesian duties and taxes are included (due to the “double clearance” service).
- Delivery fee.
- General Trade Declaration: The note mentions declaration fees. Since Mi Bands are relatively low-value items, the RMB650 fee should apply, unless you have a very large number of items exceeding the 6-item limit.
In summary, the note itself doesn’t provide air freight calculation details. You must contact Guangdong Smart Logistics directly with precise shipment details to get an accurate quote. The note is helpful in that it confirms they offer a service that includes customs clearance and taxes, and it provides their contact information.
