Freight & CIF Builder

Build CFR/CNF and CIF up from your FOB price, plan container loads per market, and switch display currency. Inputs are in USD; totals also show in your chosen currency.
Sets the default container payload — edit it for the exact allowance.

Container load planner

Payload limits differ by market (UAE ≈26t, UK ≈16t) — both fields are editable.

e.g. UAE allows 26,000 kg in a 20ft; UK caps ~16,000 kg.

FOB → CFR → CIF

Per-shipment cost build-up (inputs in USD).
