A re-seller of mining machinery, located in Stratford, Ontario, calls a CIFFA Forwarder, inquiring about shipping a used Caterpillar Grader, to Vina del Mar, Chile. The overall dimensions of the Grader are 26 ft x 8.5 ft x 7 ft, and it weighs 36,000 lb. As an astute forwarder, you ask the company to send you a schematic drawing of the Grader such that you can visualize the piece you have been asked to ship. Upon examining the drawing, you notice that the front bucket, which is removable, is 8.5 ft wide, 4 ft high and 3 ft deep. The remaining portion of the grader is only 6.5 ft wide and 7 ft in height.

You have been able to determine the following:

a. Trucking Grader from Stratford to the Port of NY/NJ CAN $6,000.00 all in.

b. Container drayage Stratford from Toronto: CAN $1,400.00.

c. Break bulk ocean freight NY/NJ - Vina del Mar: US $115.00/m3

d. Terminal charges NY/NJ to be US $6.00/2,000 lb.

e. Ocean freight CY Toronto - CY Vina del Mar US $3,500.00/40-ft Standard or High Cube.
