DG LCL to Russia: what the numbers mean
All four destinations price at USD410/CBM with a 3 CBM minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment still bills as 3 CBM. Only St. Petersburg is a direct call; Moscow, Ulyanovsk and Novosibirsk relay through St. Petersburg and carry a transfer handling charge per bill of lading.
Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM and the new ENS per bill of lading, a USD200 destination surcharge on Class 2 cargo, and a USD1000 surcharge on Class 4.1 cargo. Class 6.1 is not accepted at St. Petersburg.
