Planning estimates only

FreightNerd provides quick calculation tools to help shippers, brokers, carriers, and logistics professionals estimate freight costs, volumes, weights, transit times, emissions, and duties. These estimates are based on simplified models and user-provided inputs.

Real-world freight rates, duties, taxes, surcharges, and transit times vary based on carrier, contract, market conditions, lane, commodity type, and many other factors.

HS codes and customs duties

HS code lookups, duty rates, and VAT estimates provided by the HS Code Planning Helper are approximate. Customs classification is a legal process that must be performed by a licensed customs broker or verified with your local customs authority. Using incorrect HS codes or duty estimates can result in compliance penalties.

Freight class and DIM weight

Freight class and dimensional weight calculations are planning tools. Carrier-determined freight class and billable weight may differ from estimates based on actual inspection, density verification, and carrier tariff rules.

Carbon emissions

CO₂ emissions estimates use simplified emission factors. Actual emissions vary based on vessel or vehicle type, load factor, route, and fuel type. These estimates are not suitable for regulatory reporting or carbon accounting.

No professional advice

Nothing on FreightNerd constitutes legal, regulatory, tax, customs, or professional logistics advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making commercial shipping decisions.

Limitation of liability

FreightNerd and its operators accept no liability for losses, costs, penalties, or damages arising from the use of these tools. Use at your own risk and always verify results with authoritative sources.
