Grain Moisture Meter
Transportation
As Nepal is a land-locked country shipping from Canada cannot be done by ship, and therefore, the simplest method of transport is by air freight. No direct measurements as to the size of this package are given, but from the photos and the dimensions of the probe a reasonable guess is the product is 20 x 15 x 10 cm. The weight of the device is given as 320g (“Process Instruments,” 2015). If a box with a size 100 x 90 x 90 cm is shipped, 270 individual meters could fit. The total weight of this would be 86.4 kg.
A1 Freight Forwarding is a company that ships from Toronto, Canada to Kathmandu, Nepal. The cost to send a box of the specifications before mentioned by air freight is estimated at $635.75 CDN (“A1 Frieght Forwarding,” 2015). This adds an additional charge of $2.35 per meter. This would bring the overall cost of this product to $240.35 CDN for the product, or 19188.83 Nepalese Rupee, any taxes and tariffs would have to be added to this total.
