The costs of using a freight forwarder for Hazardous & Dangerous is not possible to give a precise indication of costs, but this page outlines some of the main influences of the costs of using a freight forwarder.
The five main factors that influence cost are:
Mode of Transport – Airfreight can be significantly more expensive than transit by road, rail or ship. Distance / Destination -the farther your goods have to travel or the more unusual the destination, the higher costs are likely to be.
Weight and volume - charges are usually based on the weight of goods, but calculation switches to volume above a certain threshold (one cubic metre per tonne for shipping, three for road, and six for air) Value -in some instances, such as Detergent, Denatured Alcohol, Fire Extinguishers, Lithium Batteries, Diesel Fuel, Oxygen Cylinders, Vehicle Batteries, Alkaline Batteries, Antifreeze, Battery Acids, Mineral Spirits, Pesticides, Insecticides, Certain Military Products, Paint Thinner charges are calculated on the basis of goods.
The type of contract you have with the freight forwarder - while most forwarders usually charge per shipment, some will agree an annual service contract, so you should weigh up the costs and benefits of each type.
Bear in mind that asking your freight forwarder to provide secondary services - such as arranging customs clearance or insurance cover - will obviously lead to lesser charges.
