| CCA

for moving hazardous cargo? |
| Yes.
All hazardous cargo must be accompanied by the relevant
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as well as the
original dangerous goods certificate (IMO). Special
packing is required, which should be provided by
the supplier. |
| |
| Does
CCA offer insurance for cargo? |
| Yes.
CCA offers full coverage maritime insurance for
both air and ocean freight, import and export. CCA
only offers insurance for freight that we handle. |
| |
| How
are freight costs calculated? |
|
Freight rates (air & ocean) vary between different
origins and destinations. Freight costs are normally
calculated by multiplying the freight rate by either
the actual weight or the volume (volumetric weight)
depending on whichever yields greater. Ocean freight
rates are usually quoted per weight or measure,
W/M. (W being 1000kg and M being 1m3 (35.32 cubic
feet), whichever yields greater.) |
| |
| Are
the freight costs the total costs of the shipment? |
| No.
There are other additional costs such as documentation
fees, fuel surcharges etc. which will vary depending
on the origin and destination of the shipment. |
