The international logistics industry is growing rapidly, and the demand for international air freight companies is very large.
How to calculate airline surcharges?
The following international airfreight company to analyze for you.
（1）Declared Value Charges (Valuation Charges)
| Similar to carriers in ocean or rail transportation, air carriers are required to limit their liability to the cargo to a certain amount in order to limit their operational risk. |
| The Warsaw Convention sets a maximum limit of liability for loss, damage or delay of the goods caused by the carrier's own negligence or intent, which is generally understood to be $20 per kilogram or £9.07 per pound or other currency equivalent. If the value of the goods exceeds these values, which increases the carrier's liability, the carrier is charged a stated value fee. Otherwise, the carrier is not liable for the excess even if there is more damage. |
| The declared value of the goods is for the whole cargo, and it is not allowed to declare the value of a part of the goods. The declared value charge is based on the actual gross weight of the goods and is calculated by the following formula |
Declared value fee = (value of the goods - gross weight of the goods × 20 USD/kg) × declared value fee rate The rate of declared value fee is usually 0.5%. Most of the airlines stipulate a minimum charge for the declared value fee along with the declared value fee rate. If the declared value fee calculated according to the above formula is lower than the minimum standard of the airline, the shipper has to pay the declared value fee according to the minimum standard of the airline. |
（2）Other surcharges
| Other surcharges include bill of lading fees, cash on delivery surcharges, pickup fees, etc., generally only in the carrier or air freight forwarder or centralized shipper to provide services are charged. |
