Planning to ship goods abroad but don’t know where to start? To receive a fast and accurate calculation of international shipping costs from TD Logistic, it is important to correctly fill out the form on the website. Below, we explain in detail what information is required for each type of delivery — sea, air, or road — and how to avoid common mistakes when submitting a request.

How to Calculate the Cost of Cargo Transportation

The cost of international shipping is formed based on several key parameters. Knowing these factors allows not only to estimate future expenses but also to optimize them. Here are the main elements that affect the final delivery price:

Type of transport: air — faster but more expensive; sea — cost-effective for large shipments; road — convenient within Europe.

Weight and volume of the cargo: the greater the weight or dimensions, the higher the price. In many cases, volumetric weight is used.

Distance and route: the price depends on the country of origin, destination country, and the presence of transshipment warehouses or customs.

Nature of the cargo: branded goods, fragile or hazardous cargo may require additional transportation conditions or certificates.

Additional services: insurance, packaging, customs clearance, brokerage support — all this affects the final cost.

To avoid manual calculations and mistakes, it’s best to use the online form on the TD Logistic website. By providing accurate cargo parameters, you will receive a personalized quote that accounts for all nuances.

What Information Should Be Entered in the Form?

Depending on the delivery method — by sea, air, or road — TD Logistic asks you to provide slightly different sets of data. Below is a clear breakdown.

• Name

• Your phone number
• Total cargo weight

• Packing list with photos and technical specifications of the goods (send to us after contacting our manager via your preferred messenger)

Service for Sourcing and Purchasing Goods in China

TD Logistic also offers a service for sourcing and purchasing goods in China with subsequent delivery. Standard info: name, email address, your phone number. Additionally, for this we will need you to fill in the description:

• Detailed description of the required product or a link to it (for example, from platforms like 1688, Taobao, Alibaba, etc.)
• Any specific requirements regarding quality, packaging, or color
• Desired maximum purchase price

We will help you find a reliable supplier, check product quality, coordinate the details, and arrange delivery.

Common Mistakes When Filling Out the Form

To avoid delays or misunderstandings, please don’t do the following:

• Omitting volume or weight — without this, the price cannot be calculated
• Using vague descriptions like “personal items” — customs require detailed information
• Failing to include a packing list or photos — slows down inspection and evaluation
• Not indicating cities of origin/destination — a route cannot be generated
