How to Compute the Freight Charges for Domestic & International
Freight is a term used to describe goods that are transported from one location to another, either by a cargo ship or a plane or some other type of vehicle. To ship freight to a destination, you typically have to pay a charge based on a number of factors. Domestic freight charges apply to packages shipped around the United States, while international freight charges apply to those being shipped abroad from the U.S.
