There are 2 major factors, among the many others, that determine container shipping costs for international and multinational shipping. These are 1) freight charges, and 2) port fees. Container shipping companies charge port fees so that they can pay for costs required for custom clearance when the goods are loaded off from the ship.

Changing Currency Values, Service Charges and Method Of Shipping

In the same way, there are also a number of factors that influence the costs of the services offered by freight forwarding and international cargo companies. For one thing, if you move from one country to the next, you have to take into consideration the varying currency values to determine the cost of the container to begin with. Then again, reputed international shipping companies are not typically bothered about petty container cost charges especially if they have innumerable projects at hand. The service charges of these companies often remain unchanged considering that changes in container costs are minor.

If you’re moving to another country, you should have ample knowledge about the cost values of the international cargo company you’re hiring. Basically, you’ll have to make sure that you are well-informed of the service charges you will pay in terms of your current country of residence. Many customers are unaware in these aspects,  that’s why they end up paying more than they should.

What about the method of shipping? This is another factor that determines container shipping costs. If you’re opting to ship through a liner vessel, for example, you’ll actually pay less because liner vessel shipping go by fixed schedules and fixed routes. Otherwise, if you’ll send your cargo via charter vessel shipping that operates based on market conditions, you’ll be paying more. Container shipping costs fluctuate according to changing market conditions in this case.
