Understanding FedEx International Shipping Costs
Shipping internationally with FedEx involves several factors that determine the final cost. This estimator provides a general idea, but a real quote from FedEx will be more precise.
Key Factors Influencing Cost:
Destination Country: The further and more complex the destination (in terms of customs and logistics), the higher the cost. Countries are often grouped into zones.
Package Weight (Actual vs. Dimensional):
Actual Weight: The physical weight of your package.
Dimensional Weight: This accounts for the space a package occupies on a vehicle. It's calculated using the package's dimensions. FedEx uses a dimensional weight factor (typically 139 for international express services when using inches and pounds). The shipping cost is based on the greater of the actual weight or the dimensional weight.
Package Dimensions: Length, width, and height directly impact the dimensional weight. Larger packages, even if light, can be more expensive to ship.
Service Type: FedEx offers various international services (e.g., International Priority, International Economy, International Ground to Canada/Mexico), each with different transit times and price points. Faster services are generally more expensive.
Declared Value: This is the value you declare for your shipment, primarily for customs purposes. It also affects the cost of optional insurance. Higher declared values typically incur higher insurance fees.
Customs Duties and Taxes: These are charges imposed by the destination country's government on imported goods. They are NOT included in this calculator's estimate and are typically paid by the recipient, though the sender can sometimes opt to pay them. These can significantly add to the total cost.
Surcharges: Additional fees can apply for fuel, remote area delivery, oversized packages, dangerous goods, or special handling.
How Dimensional Weight is Calculated (FedEx International Express, inches/lbs):
Dimensional Weight (lbs) = (Length x Width x Height in inches) / 139
The billable weight will be the greater of the actual weight or the dimensional weight.
Limitations of This Calculator:
This tool provides an estimate based on simplified pricing models. It does not:
Account for specific FedEx service types (e.g., Priority vs. Economy).
Include customs duties, taxes, or brokerage fees.
Include fuel surcharges or other specific FedEx surcharges.
Reflect real-time FedEx pricing, which can change.
Always obtain an official quote directly from FedEx for accurate pricing.
Example Calculation:
Let's say you're shipping a 5 lb package (12x10x8 inches) with a declared value of $100 to the UK.
