Freight Charge refers to the cost imposed by a carrier or logistics provider for transporting goods from the point of origin to the destination. Freight charges can vary depending on cargo type, weight, volume, distance, mode of transport, handling requirements, and additional services such as insurance or customs clearance. In logistics, managing freight charges is critical for budgeting, pricing strategies, and overall supply chain cost efficiency. Accurate calculation and documentation of freight charges also ensure transparency between shippers and customers and prevent disputes over billing. Freight charges may be prepaid, collected on delivery, or shared between parties depending on the shipping terms agreed upon.
