Freight costs and freight rates for shipping and transportation between Germany and Mexico

A freight rate indicates the total cost of shipping goods from one location to another.

In addition to the type of shipment (sea freight, air freight), the costs are made up of the type of goods, the type of transportation, the volume weight and the distance to the destination.A further distinction is made between sea FCL, sea LCL, air and express.

Sea FCL (Full Container Load) is recommended for large quantities of goods. Here you have your own container (either 20 or 40 feet long) for the transport. As a rule, the price is calculated on a flat-rate basis, regardless of whether your container is completely full or not.

With less-than-container-load (LCL), you share the costs for the transportation of the container. However, there are costs for consolidation and deconsolidation (compilation and distribution of the container's cargo) at the port of origin and at the port of destination.

We will be happy to advise you on the right solution for your transportation to and from America.
