Shipping costs vary depending on the service type. Key factors include container size, transit time, cargo type, weight, dimensions, and Incoterms. We also provide customs brokerage assistance.

What is a GRI (General Rate Increase) in Shipping?
A General Rate Increase (GRI) is a surcharge applied by carriers based on demand, adjusting base rates for specific shipping lines during set time frames.
