For eligible US shipments, Foshan Cargo calculates three alternative DDP sea-service base prices from packed volume, gross weight when known and delivery postcode. These are DDP base-freight estimates only: shipment-specific surcharges are not included, and Buildcargo Logistics must confirm the final written quote.
01
One sofa, your own supplier, or an unfinished list?
All can start an enquiry. With a valid US postcode and usable packed CBM, choose Not sure if weight is missing. Without usable volume, send the product link and destination: we first identify the packing details to request. You do not need to buy through us or order a whole home. Service acceptance is confirmed separately.
02
Worked example: DDP base freight only—surcharges not included
Illustrative calculation, not a customer shipment or final quote. United States, postcode 90001; 1.760 m³ of assumed packed cargo; gross weight not confirmed. Packing and product eligibility still require review.
Volume-based weight: 1.760 × 1,000,000 ÷ 6000 = 293.33 kg. Chargeable weight used: 294 kg. This uses volume for now; final gross weight may raise it.
These are alternative service options. Do not add them together. A different postcode, packing size or final weight can change the result.
No shipment-specific surcharges, final packing approval or automatic customs amount are supplied by this example.

Status in this website's estimate
DDP base-route freight
Calculated only when the destination, postcode and chargeable-weight band match a published route.
Shipment-specific surcharges
Not included. Product, size, weight, handling, remote and delivery conditions require a separate enquiry.
Packing, collection, warehouse work and unloading
Confirm separately whether China-side collection, crating, storage, residential delivery, tail-lift, unloading or carrying-in is required and included.
Ordinary duty, VAT and special trade measures
Duty amount: Not calculated yet. The current tool has no reviewed automatic duty-rate records. Any later ordinary-duty reference is not added again to the DDP amount.
Final amount payable
Only the accepted written quote can confirm the cargo, customs and delivery scope.
04
Copy this request to your supplier
Please send the package count, outer length × width × height and gross weight of every package for my exact order. Mark the measurements as estimated or final, and confirm whether crates or pallets are included. Please include product material, intended use, invoice value and the ready date. For furniture, identify which legs, arms or modules are removed and packed separately. For a long or heavy piece, include a packing photo and handling instructions.
05
A written US scope, then a recorded loading step
These two records belong to one historical US doors-and-windows project published by Buildcargo Logistics: a redacted formal quotation and loading at the China warehouse. They connect a written scope with an operating step. They are not the furniture calculation above, a current rate sheet or proof that your order has the same customs treatment.
A separate published outdoor-furniture record follows that shipment through signed handover. Each record stays attached to its own cargo; none proves this calculator's accuracy or your final price.
See the written quoteHistorical U.S. quotation · Prices and private details removedView the Buildcargo record ↗What this record shows
A historical project quotation, not a current rate card or a test of calculator accuracy. Its fee categories explain the agreed scope. Do not add its import-tax category again to a DDP base estimate; your shipment's inclusions and additions need separate written confirmation.

Loading, recordedChina warehouse loading · Actual, silent project excerptView the Buildcargo record ↗What this record shows
This loading excerpt belongs to the U.S. doors-and-windows project, not the Poland quotation. It records that shipment's loading work; it is not a loading schedule, capacity guarantee or promise that every product can use the same handling method.
Silent visual record: the project's protected cargo is loaded into a container at the China warehouse. This is the origin loading stage, not delivery to the U.S. address.

Leave with a list of what still needs confirming
Send the product link or packing list, US postcode and any estimate sheet. The review identifies service fit, missing measurements and single-enquiry handling or delivery fees. Buildcargo Logistics then confirms the written scope for an accepted shipment. A lower base price alone is not a complete comparison.
Questions before you commit
Can I estimate US shipping without the weight?+
Yes, when a valid postcode, usable packed volume and eligible route are available. The estimate uses rounded-up volume-based weight for now. Once both final volume and gross weight are known, the higher basis applies.
Is this the final DDP amount I will pay?+
No. It is DDP base freight only, with shipment-specific surcharges excluded. The final packing, cargo, customs and delivery conditions need a written review.
Send a product link and destination. We’ll check suitability, identify missing facts and list the charges that need review before a written quote. Inspect your WhatsApp draft before sending.
