International Shipping Rates: Air vs Sea vs Express Compared

International Shipping Cost Comparison

ShipCalcWize.com compares air freight, sea freight, and express courier rates for 15,000+ routes.

Cost by Method (Example: USA → Germany, 10kg)

Method Cost/kg Transit
Air Freight ~$8/kg 3-5 days
Sea Freight ~$1.5/kg 25-35 days
Express (DHL/FedEx) ~$15/kg 1-3 days

Rule of Thumb

  • Under 100kg: Air freight usually wins
  • Over 300kg: Sea freight becomes cost-effective
