Pricing Guide
Air Freight Shipping Rates from Beijing to Fremantle
Current air freight rates from Beijing to Perth Airport average $4.50 to $6.80 per kilogram for general cargo in 2026, with prices varying based on shipment size, cargo type, and seasonal demand. Fuel surcharges typically add 15-20% to base rates, while Australian customs clearance and handling fees range from $180 to $350 per shipment depending on commodity classification and documentation complexity. Larger shipments over 1,000 kg often qualify for volume discounts that can reduce per-kilogram costs by 20-30%, making consolidation an effective strategy for regular shippers. Peak season pricing during Australia's summer months (December through February) can increase rates by $1.00 to $1.50 per kilogram due to higher demand for consumer goods and seasonal products. Smart shippers reduce costs by booking space in advance, optimizing packaging to reduce volumetric weight charges, and working with freight forwarders who have strong carrier relationships in the China-Australia trade lane.
