Freight charges can vary from country and country. Hence are not added to the cost
of the cars upfront.

major ports.

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.

What if my country is not listed in the Destination Ports list?
Simply choose
Not Shown Here ... Other Port option from the 'Choose Destination
Port' drop down and proceed to check out. You will be asked to type your choice
of Destination Port in the 'Shipping Details' form. We will mail you separately
the freight charges to the unlisted Port you had chosen.
