{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Freight rate","description":"A freight rate is the price a carrier charges for transporting goods over a defined route, expressed per unit of measurement such as tonne, cubic metre, pallet, or TEU. Shipping lines, airlines, and road hauliers set rates based on distance, transport mode, commodity type, seasonality, and prevailing supply-and-demand conditions. Fuel surcharges (BAF or FSC), terminal handling charges, and other accessorial fees are typically itemised separately, meaning the all-in cost can differ substantially ","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/freight-rate","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-22T10:17:18.771707","citation":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_rate","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/freight-rate","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Freight rate · A freight rate is the price a carrier charges for transporting goods over a defined route, expressed per unit of measurement such as tonne, cubic metre, pallet, or TEU. · Quelle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_rate"}
