The total cost of goods, the margin of error, and the presence or absence of a competitive advantage in a seller's market, not a buyer’s one, a lot depends on this price component.

It is for this purpose that this calculator is specifically designed to evaluate the cost of shipping from China to Dubai. The tool allows sending basic shipment information the to the managers of China West to receive the required estimates ASAP.

How the Calculator Works

The interface of the online shipping calculator from China is intuitive and simple, and therefore comprehensive to everyone. A user needs to know in advance the targeted category of goods, as well as the cargo volume and the weight, as well as select the preferred method of transportation. These are the main considerations for which all the inputs for the calculation are prepared — the cost of delivery by a given transportation method, the cost of bills of lading and customs documents, the dollar exchange rate, the amount of customs duty and VAT.

In order to arrive at an approximate total cost, in addition to the weight and volume of a lot of exported goods, it is necessary to enter the geographical point of shipment and the location of its acceptance, as well as any personal information such as a phone number for operational communication and informing about changes. These data will be processed by the manager, responsible for optimizing the parameters affecting the cost of delivery. After the data is processed, the manager gets in touch and reports the price of shipping services to a customer.
