Use the following website to find the information:

1. Which zone is Seattle in? (hint: look for cargo zone map)
2. What is the rate basis for the security surcharge? (What is the rate per pound?)
3. What other surcharges will there be on shipments?
4. Using the rate calculator (just fill the mandatory fields)- what would the total charges for Priority and General Air Freight be from Houston to Los Angeles for a cubic foot shipment weighing 120 lbs? What are the surcharges?
5. If the above shipment has dimensions of 20" x 50" x 50" - what will the applicable (i.e. dimensional) shipment weight be? What would the total shipment charge be?

Now look at thePriority & General Air Freight Rates(Links to an external site.)

and you can see how the calculator figures the rates. Notice that there is a minimum charge, and separate rates for the size of the box. Our 120-pound cubic foot is assessed at $0.77 cents per pound.

1. What is the minimum charge for any shipment from zone 10?

You can tinker with the calculator to see how different commodities and service times affect the rate you will pay
