    cost of shipping items from Australia to the unites states

    Shipping items from Australia to the United States typically incurs costs ranging from USD 12 to USD 70 (AUD 16.80 to AUD 98.00) for a 1kg parcel. However, the exact cost varies based on several factors:

    • Mode of transport utilized
    • Type of shipment selected (e.g., express shipping, consolidated freight)
    • Handling charges
    • Cargo insurance
    • Value of the goods being transported

    Shipping rates for air freight and less-than-container load (LCL) shipments are usually determined by multiplying the carrier’s base rate by the chargeable weight of the goods.

    Chargeable weight refers to the larger value between:

    • Actual weight – The measured weight of cargo on a scale
    • Volumetric weight – Calculated by multiplying the cargo’s length, height, and width (with a density ratio for air freight)

    The following table illustrates how freight costs are calculated based on chargeable weight:

      Sea freight (LCL shipping) Air Freight
    Actual Weight

    Total weight on scale measured in tons, converted to cubic meters.

    Total weight on scale measured in kilograms.
    Volumetric Weight

    Length x width x height (meters) = Volumetric weight (CBM)

    A density ratio of 1:6 is typically applied. Length x width x height (cm) / 6,000 = Volumetric weight (kg)
    Cost Of Freight

    Cost Of Freight: Base rate ($) x chargeable weight (CBM) = Cost of freight ($)

    Base rate ($) x chargeable weight (kg) = Cost of freight ($)

    Carriers typically determine shipping fees by multiplying the cargo’s chargeable weight by their base rate.
