You request an air freight shipping quote from China to Amsterdam. Three forwarders send back three different numbers. None of them explain the charges. One adds a “fuel surcharge” after you book. Another hits you with a “security fee” on the final invoice. By the time your cargo lands at Schiphol (AMS), the real air shipping cost per kilogram from China is 40% higher than the quote.
At Sunny Worldwide Logistics (SWWLS), we do not play that game. Our principle, “比货主还货主” (more meticulous than the cargo owner), means we give you an all-inclusive air shipping cost per kilogram upfront. No hidden fees. No last-minute surprises. For over 28 years, we have provided transparent pricing to 3,000+ industry suppliers. As a WCA member since 2006 (ID: 87909) and one of only three forwarders in Shenzhen with a dedicated export warehouse at Yantian Port, we deliver honest air freight shipping rates to the Netherlands.

The air shipping cost per kilogram from China depends on three factors: actual weight, dimensional weight (volume ÷ 5000), and the rate class (general cargo, dangerous goods, temperature-controlled). Many forwarders quote a low base rate, then add:
Fuel surcharge (changes weekly, rarely disclosed upfront)
Security fee (mandatory but often hidden)
Terminal handling charge (airport fee passed to you)
Export customs clearance fee (sometimes billed separately)
AMS fee (for shipments to Amsterdam)
Delivery fee (often excluded from the initial quote)
Our air shipping cost per kilogram is all-inclusive. You see one number. That is what you pay.
No Hidden Surcharges
Your quoted air shipping cost per kilogram from China includes: pickup from your supplier, export customs clearance, air freight to Amsterdam (AMS), fuel, security, terminal handling, Dutch import clearance, 21% VAT (if DDP), and final delivery to your door anywhere in the Netherlands. Every charge is disclosed upfront. Air freight shipping should never be a guessing game.
Clear Calculation of Chargeable Weight
We show you exactly how we calculate chargeable weight (actual weight vs. dimensional weight). For lightweight, bulky shipments, we advise on packaging changes to reduce volume and lower your air shipping cost per kilogram. One client reduced their billable weight by 18% after we optimized their carton sizes.
No Peak Season Surprises
Commercial air freight rates spike during Q4 and before Chinese New Year. Our contracts with carriers guarantee fixed air shipping cost per kilogram for regular shippers. You do not pay holiday premiums. Your air freight shipping budget stays predictable.
DDP or Airport-to-Airport – You Choose
We quote both options clearly. Airport-to-airport (your buyer clears Dutch customs and pays VAT) or DDP (we handle everything). Either way, the air shipping cost per kilogram is presented line by line.
A Dutch seller of home goods imported 200 kg of ceramic vases from Guangzhou every month. Their previous forwarder quoted a low air shipping cost per kilogram, but every invoice included unexpected “handling fees” and “congestion surcharges.” The final cost was never the same twice.
Our Transparent Approach: We provided a fixed all-inclusive air shipping cost per kilogram valid for six months. The quote included pickup, export, air freight to AMS, Dutch clearance, VAT, and delivery to their warehouse in Almere. No adjustment fees. No peak season add-ons.
The Result: The seller saved 22% on their annual logistics spend. They now plan their air freight shipping budget with confidence.
A Rotterdam-based machinery importer needed to ship 1,500 kg of industrial pumps from Shanghai. Three forwarders quoted low per-kilo rates but excluded export documentation fees, AMS charges, and delivery to Rotterdam port. The real air shipping cost per kilogram would have been 35% higher.
Our Transparent Quote: We presented a single all-inclusive number covering pickup in Shanghai, export customs, air freight to AMS, Dutch clearance, and delivery to Rotterdam. The client compared and chose SWWLS.
The Result: The pumps arrived on schedule. The invoice matched the quote exactly. The client has since moved all air freight shipping to SWWLS.
A startup in Eindhoven imported delicate electronic components from Shenzhen. They needed temperature-controlled air freight shipping for 50 kg of prototypes. Their usual forwarder quoted a per-kilo rate but did not mention the extra cost for active temperature control.
Our Transparent Solution: We quoted a separate air shipping cost per kilogram for the temperature-controlled container, clearly showing the base rate and the additional cold chain fee. The client knew exactly what they were paying for.
The Result: The prototypes arrived at 18°C, fully functional. The startup now uses SWWLS for all urgent component shipments.
