Shipping Rates to Malaysia

Mostly, the rates on shipping boxes are set upon the cubic space in the container. With fixed minimum charges per shipment from USA in maritime industry, the customer can ship as little or as much as he/she wants, but there is a minimum cost involved.

The charges on international shipping of boxes, parcels, or packages usually cover warehouse receiving in US, tallying, loading into container, documentation and ocean transport. Nevertheless, there will be local destination fees upon warehouse release per custom of the port. In most countries it is possible to clear customs yourself and normally duty is not levied on used personal effects. But the customer should realize that customs clearance, duties and taxes are the obligation of the receiving consignee.
