  9. How do you calculate the Freight Charges?
    Freight Charges are obtained by multiplying the size of the car (in cubic metre) and the rate per cubic metre for the destination port.

    For example, let's say the size of the car you had bought is 10 Cu.M and the rate for your destination port (say Bridgetown) is US $103 per Cu.M. Then the Freight Charge would be 10 Cu.M * US $103 - i.e. US $1030.
