Freight tools
Practical shipping references for time zones, dangerous goods classes, Incoterms, HS codes, pallet planning and everyday freight conversions.
Quick answers for live freight decisions
Each tool is designed for fast checks before a shipment moves, with Jenkar's team still on hand for the judgement calls.
From a quick check to a shipment decision
These free freight tools help importers, exporters and logistics teams check common measurements, terminology and planning assumptions before asking for a live quote. They are practical starting points, not a booking, customs decision or substitute for route-specific advice.
- Plan container space
- Use the container calculator to estimate how standard pallets may fit into common 20ft and 40ft containers. Confirm cargo dimensions, payload limits, stacking rules and loading clearances before booking.
- Check classification
- Use the HS code finder for a commodity-code starting point and the IMCO guide for dangerous-goods classes. Final classification depends on the exact goods, materials, use, packaging and destination.
- Clarify responsibilities
- Use the Incoterms® 2020 guide to understand common cost, risk and responsibility handovers between buyer and seller. The chosen rule and named place should also be written clearly into the sales contract.
- Coordinate global teams
- Use world time zones for international handovers and conversion tables for common freight units. Check original documents whenever rounding or local conventions could affect a declaration or quote.
For a route-specific answer, share the collection and delivery points, cargo description, dimensions, weight, timing and any hazardous, temperature-controlled or special-handling requirements with Jenkar.
