Bulk Commercial Volume
A 300 KG load into Thailand is squarely bulk commercial freight. At this size, ocean (FCL or LCL) and air-charter pricing tighten up considerably. Most regular importers run scheduled ocean for their standing orders and keep air in reserve for urgent gaps.
- Ocean FCL can pay off once you pass roughly 5 CBM
- LCL ocean rates are billed per cubic metre in this range
- Plan for a customs exam — have complete documentation ready
- Insure anything over about USD 5,000 in declared value
What Sits Inside the Thailand Rate — and What Does Not
A freight rate is a scope, not just a number. Two quotes for the same lane can differ by a third and still describe the same shipment, because one of them stops at the port and the other reaches the door. Here is where the line falls on the figures published above.
Inside the published rate
- Main carriage — the flight or the sailing itself
- Origin handling: pickup in South China, consolidation, export declaration
- Standard documentation for the lane
Quoted alongside, against your goods
- Import duty and tax — a function of HS code and declared value, not of weight
- Destination terminal and delivery-order charges
- Inland delivery beyond the gateway
Only if your cargo triggers it
- Dangerous-goods handling — cells, aerosols, anything flammable
- Customs examination, where the entry is selected for inspection
- Storage once free time at destination runs out
- Remote-area delivery beyond the standard service map
When you compare us against another quote, compare the scope first. Ask what the number stops at, whether duty is inside it or beside it, and who pays the destination terminal. The rate that looks cheapest on an email is frequently the one with the most left out of it.
What Affects the Shipping Cost to Thailand?
- Chargeable weight — you pay on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air)
- Commodity surcharges — batteries, liquids and branded goods all attract extra handling fees
- Seasonal peaks — Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (Oct) typically add 15–30% to rates
- Delivery zone — parts of Thailand carry remote-area surcharges by postal code
- Customs basis — import duty is assessed on the CIF value of the goods
Customs & Documentation for Thailand
- De-minimis — consignments under the local threshold can clear free of duty
- Paperwork — a commercial invoice, packing list and correct HS codes are the baseline
- Managed clearance — RateHive can coordinate the customs entry and import-tax processing on your behalf
- Restricted goods — batteries and liquids need supplementary certification

When does demand peak on the China-to-Thailand lane?
Space into Thailand gets tight around Sep–Nov, layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
