Cost of container shipping to Dubai

Various factors determine the transportation cost and price of a container. The average shipping cost for a standard 40-foot container will be about $10,000. Almost quadrupling from the previous year. This is due to container supply shortage and excess demand. So, consider these extra costs when planning your international move this year.

Shipping costs are calculated using following factors:

Load/Weight:

The shape of the load directly affects the final cost. Sea freight containers measurement is for volume, not weight. But, for air freight, space is more limited and weight limits are lighter. So, volume and weight are a consideration.

Type of transport:

The mode of transport determines the price and time it takes for the package to reach its destination. Air freight can be faster, but it costs expensive more than sea freight.

Distance:

Only fuel consumption is affected by total mileage. The total distance a container travels affects shipping costs.

This is why it is important to speak with a licensed professional international forwarder who can tell on the best port to ship to save money.

Destination port:

Different countries have different taxes and duties that you have to pay on goods. Knowing these things in advance can save you money on shipping household items.

Season:

As with many other industries, prices for international shipping fluctuate throughout the year. Immediately after Chinese New Year and during the summer months, most companies will raise prices. This is due to increased demand and very limited capacity.

Container size:

Standard container dimensions are 20ft and 40ft. But there are other variations, such as different sizes and refrigerated cabinets.

Supply and demand:

The global freight industry is determined by basic economics. During the busiest times of transportation, container prices increase, sometimes significantly.

Sea freight prices from the United Arab Emirates range from $500 to $1900 depending on destination and container size.

Although exports have declined over the years, the country still holds its position as her 32nd largest export economy in the world. Exports include crude and refined oils, petroleum gas, diamonds and gold. Imports include automobiles, jewelry, refined petroleum, diamonds and gold.
