We charge a fixed fee from R5500 per cubic meter (CBM).
The charge per CBM is all dependent on the value of the goods/ items imported as well as variable factors like the US Dollar/ ZAR exchange.
LCL (Less than Container Load) or grouped shipping is the best option for you when the size of your cargo is less than 33 cubic meters (CBM). In general, up to 10 tons and 20 cubic meters (CBM) can be handled.
Minimum quantity required is 1 CBM and the maximum quantity 33 CBM.
Also ideal for small shipments that weighs more than 150kg – it is more economical to be shipped using our grouped shipping service instead of expensive Air freight.
