Freight price list from China to Lesotho
Summary:The transportation costs from China to Lesotho vary depending on the mode of transport chosen. The main modes of transport include international express delivery services (such as DHL, UPS, FedEx), which offer high timeliness and usually arrive within 5-7 days, but are more expensive, especially for small items; international air freight is the fastest of all methods, suitable for urgent or high timeliness requirements for goods, such as documents, aquatic products, fresh agricultural products, etc.; international sea freight is divided into full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL), suitable for bulk goods, with relatively lower prices but longer transportation times. Therefore, the specific transportation costs need to be determined comprehensively based on the type of goods, quantity, mode of transport, and market conditions.

For shipments weighing up to 20.5 kg (inclusive), fractions of less than 0.5 kg will be
charged as 0.5 kg.
For shipments weighing 21 kg and above (inclusive), fractions of less than 1 kg will be
charged as 1 kg.

Volumetric weight = (length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)) ÷ 5000
Example: A shipment from Shanghai to Maseru has dimensions of 45 cm x 42 cm
x 17 cm and an actual weight of 3 kg. Its volumetric weight is 45 * 42 * 17 / 5000 ≈ 6.5 kg.
Since 6.5 > 3, the chargeable weight for this shipment is 6.5 kg.

Volumetric Weight Calculation Formula for Air Freight:
1 cubic meter = 167 kg
(Length x Width x Height) / 6000 = kg (Length, width, and height units are in "cm")
These two volumetric weight calculation formulas are the standard calculation formulas used
by all airpnes worldwide.
Example: An air freight bill of lading shows a total volume of 1 cubic
meter and a weight of 130 kg for 8 cartons of goods. The dimensions of the cartons are
505050 cm each. Total volumetric weight = 8 * (505050) / 6000 = 166.6666
kgs = 167 kgs. Since 167 kgs is greater than 130 kgs, the volumetric weight is greater than
the actual weight of the goods. Therefore, this shipment is considered volumetric cargo and
will be charged based on volumetric weight.
