There are two key components in these international shipping rates which includes the ocean freight which is the significant price for the container (for the shipping line) and the handling as well as clearing charges at the port of origin and destination to port authorities, shipping line and freight forwarders. Owing to fluctuations in currency and fuel prices, currency adjustment factor and bunker adjustment factor for fuel price fluctuations - industry mandates are to charge such a buffer to protect the interest of all the parties. Other important charges include congestion charges for busy ports, customs fees, and terminal handling and loading charges, bill of lading fee, wharfage and any other surcharge like peak season, container cleaning, and supervision or security charges.
