Not necessarily. The total shipping cost depends on shipping method, volume, urgency, and delivery terms. Bearings can be shipped by sea, air, or rail—with ocean freight offering the lowest cost for bulk orders, and air freight being best for urgent or lightweight shipments. Rail is a cost-effective mid-point for Europe and Central Asia. Packaging options like vacuum-sealing and wooden crates can slightly affect costs, while Incoterms such as EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP determine who pays for what during the transaction. Understanding these elements helps foreign buyers minimize shipping costs and choose the best logistics strategy for their bearing imports.
