Last Updated: February 1, 2026
1. Introduction: The 2026 Reality of Importing
In 2026, the question “How much is the shipping cost per kg?” has become more complex due to fluctuating fuel surcharges and the ongoing global “dollar crisis.” For Bangladeshi entrepreneurs sourcing from Alibaba, 1688, or Taobao, knowing the true landed cost is the difference between profit and loss.
Most freight forwarders will quote you a low “Freight Only” price, only to surprise you with massive customs duties and C&F commissions later. At Total Import Solution, we pioneered the All-Inclusive Door-to-Door model, ensuring the price you see is the price you pay.

4. Sea Freight: When to Stop Paying “Per KG”
If you are importing heavy machinery, furniture, or bulk raw materials, paying per kg is a mistake. For these items, we use CBM (Cubic Meter) calculations.
-
LCL (Less than Container Load): $120 – $150 per CBM
-
FCL (20ft Container): $1,100 – $1,350 (Port-to-Port baseline)
-
Specialty Stones: We supply Pakur Stone (Indian LC), Dubai Gabbro, and Torsa Stone Chips for high-strength infrastructure projects.
5. The “Volumetric Weight” Trap: Why Your Bill Might Change
In air freight, airlines charge based on the Chargeable Weight. This is the greater of the Actual Weight vs. the Volumetric Weight.
Formula: $(Length \times Width \times Height) / 6000$ = Volumetric Weight in KG
Total Import Solution Advantage: We provide professional Re-packing & Consolidation at our Guangzhou warehouse to reduce volume weight by up to 20%, saving you thousands of Taka.
