Factors that impact air freight costs
Air freight shipping costs can change based on a lot of different variables. Here are some of the most common:
Costs can be higher if…
- Space on passenger or carrier airlines is limited or in high demand
- Your shipment is extremely heavy
- You’re shipping commodities that are complicated to import
- There are multiple participating government agencies (PGAs) involved
- You’re shipping something that requires special handling, like temperature control
- Your shipment is critical and needs to go on the next aircraft available
- You choose additional services, like customs brokerage or final-mile shipping
Costs can be lower if…
- You’re shipping via popular routes
- You’re shipping high volumes and qualify for a volume discount
- You’re using multiple FedEx services and qualify for a discount
Do I need cargo insurance?
No matter what mode you choose for your shipment, you’re taking a risk. When you’re shipping air freight, damage can happen during turbulence, rough landings, loading and unloading, and more. Make sure your air freight and your business are covered in case of:
- Physical loss and damage
- Financial impact of carrier liability limits on claims
- General average risk
- Natural disaster
- War risk, including terrorism

How much does cargo insurance cost? How do I calculate it? What factors impact it?
Cargo insurance is a lot like any other type of property insurance in that the cost varies based on what you’re insuring. Higher-value cargo can come with higher insurance costs. The cargo’s origin, destination, mode of transport, commodity status, and packaging can also impact cargo cost. Generally, the premium is a small percentage of the value of the goods. Talk with your sales rep to request a cargo insurance estimate.
