How to read this data
- Indicative per-unit rates from U.S. ports. Your exact rate depends on vehicle dimensions, departure region, and current vessel space.
- Rates shown are indicative ranges from the U.S. East Coast and are confirmed at booking.
- Transit times are port-to-port estimates and exclude export clearance and customs processing.
- Headline figures cover overseas export lanes. The United States (imports), Hawaii (domestic service) and Canada (cross-border) stay in the tables but are left out of those figures.
