Freight charge is the amount paid to a carrier company for transporting cargo from one point to another. It is also called freight rate. This amount depends on the mode of transportation (air, land, or water), the distance from the pickup point to the destination, and the cargo volume and weight.
There are various types of freight charges. Some of the basic ones are consignee collects, FOB (Free-on-Board) destination, FOB origin, and freight prepaid. Each charge differs in how payment is received and who handles the payment responsibility.
For example, consignee collects is a freight rate where the buyer of the goods pays the entire cost of delivery once they receive the cargo. They also handle other necessary responsibilities tied to the delivery, including taxes and customs declaration. For FOB destination, on the other hand, the consignor or shipper handles the entire payment of the freight charges. With FOB origin, the shipper pays the costs up to a specific destination, after which the buyer takes over.
