Freight and Insurance

For bulk order, the sea-freight is the most economical way of forwarding the goods to your country but it takes longer transit time. Air-freight is faster but it is more expensive. Just on a quick glance, the ex-Bangkok door-delivery charges to various destinations are estimated as follows:


Mode Country Transit Time Freight charges*
Sea USA 1 month US$ 200 per cbm
Air USA 7-14 days US$ 3/kg
Sea Europe 1 month US$ 200 per cbm
Air Europe 7-14 days US$ 3/kg
Sea Asia # 5-10 days US$ 30-100 per cbm
Air Asia # 3-5 days US$ 2/kg


* Rough estimation. Actual charges depend on taxes, delivery location and local handling charges.
# Includes Japan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia and China.



We can also courier the goods to you through FedEx, DHL, TNT or UPS upon your request.
If you wish to insure the goods, we can purchase the ocean freight insurance on your behalf at the premium of about 1% of the goods value. The insurance policy will be attached together with the airway bill and invoice when you receive the goods.
