"Same rate for regular and special cargo" (普特貨同價) means that regular goods and special cargo — including lithium batteries, liquids, magnetic items, cosmetics, branded goods, and more — are charged at the same freight rate with no additional surcharge based on cargo type. HowBridge Logistics charges NT$25/kg for sea freight, NT$50/kg for sea express, and NT$100/kg for air freight, all at the same rate for regular and special cargo; minimum chargeable weight is 15 kg, minimum shipping fee is NT$120, with transparent pricing and no surprise special-cargo surcharges. Key comparison tip: many providers advertise low sea freight rates that only apply to regular cargo, and charge extra for special cargo (lithium batteries, cosmetics, liquids). Always confirm whether a provider offers truly same-rate pricing for regular and special cargo, and whether the rate includes customs clearance — look at the all-in landed cost, not just the per-kg rate.
How to verify a provider truly offers same-rate pricing for regular and special cargo
- Ask whether special cargo is surchargedConfirm that cosmetics, liquids, lithium batteries, and magnetic items are charged at the same rate as regular cargo.
- Ask whether customs clearance is includedConfirm whether customs clearance fees are included in the freight rate or billed separately.
- Compare all-in landed costEvaluate the total cost including customs clearance and duty fees, not just the per-kg shipping rate.

常見錯誤與注意事項
- Low advertised sea freight rate applies only to regular cargo — special cargo is surcharged, so the rate is not truly flat.
- Comparing only the per-kg rate and ignoring separately billed customs clearance fees.
- Not clarifying the provider's definition of "special cargo" — goods may be reclassified as special cargo upon arrival and incur unexpected surcharges.
