Usage Notes & Sources

  • Slow boats are usually 15%-25% cheaper than express service and take 10+ days longer.
  • Africa rows use the Waway Worldwide Express 2026-04-15 groupage prices: estimated taxes are included but this is not fully DDP; if actual duties exceed the estimate, the customer pays the difference. Final delivery is extra.
  • Waway sea groupage is billed per CBM when 1 CBM = 500 kg or less; heavier cargo is billed by weight. "Quote required" means duty risk is high, so confirm with the forwarder first.
  • LCL sea freight is charged per CBM; some African final delivery is charged per kg. The weight table converts each product to per-100-pieces weight and volume for quick estimates.
  • Quick estimate from the table: kids summer sets at 300 pcs are about 0.18 CBM / 57 kg; kids jeans sets at 300 pcs are about 0.42 CBM / 150 kg. Confirm with the forwarder before quoting.
  • Air freight in the same Waway list is quoted in RMB/kg at 21 / 45 / 100 / 300 / 500 / 1000 KG tiers. Chargeable weight = actual weight or volumetric weight (L*W*H cm / 6000), whichever is higher. Air transit is 5-9 days.
  • "Air courier" and "luggage route" prices already include estimated taxes but are not fully DDP; if actual duties exceed the estimate, the customer pays the difference. Luggage routes: single piece up to 42 kg, no batteries, liquids or powders. Small parcels are quoted as first 0.5KG / next 0.5KG, so confirm sample rates with the forwarder.
  • Source: Waway Worldwide Express Africa price list, valid from 2026-04-15.
  • The calculator uses the reference tables above; the air estimate assumes actual weight, while the forwarder may charge volumetric weight.
