  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "How do you calculate air freight price?",
      "a": "Multiply chargeable weight by the rate per kg, then add fuel surcharge, security fee, documentation, pickup, delivery, and any minimum shipment charge."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this the same as an air freight charges calculator?",
      "a": "No. This page starts from a known chargeable weight and builds a price-per-shipment estimate. A charges calculator may calculate dimensions, chargeable weight, and charge components together."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is chargeable weight in air freight?",
      "a": "Chargeable weight is the higher of actual gross weight and volumetric weight. Use an air chargeable weight calculator first if you only know carton dimensions."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does the fuel surcharge apply to?",
      "a": "In this estimator, fuel surcharge applies to the base linehaul freight. Actual forwarder quotes may apply fuel differently by airline, service, or contract."
    },
    {
      "q": "Why does a minimum charge matter?",
      "a": "Small shipments often cost more than chargeable weight x rate because airlines and forwarders apply a minimum billable shipment amount."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does this include customs duty or taxes?",
      "a": "No. It estimates air freight price only. Import duty, VAT, customs brokerage, tariffs, and destination tax are landed-cost items outside this price estimate."
