Shanghai → New York.

Reference freight-market data — LCL rate, MFN duty, and ocean-transit envelope. DAF tracks these numbers so the DAF Global Connect landed-cost math on client plans stays honest, even when DAF itself sources through the Collective and Eprolo network.

About this lane.

Shanghai. Freight-market reference. Shanghai-origin rates for East-China supply chains. Reference freight-market origin. Shanghai-origin ocean rates typical for East-China production.

New York / New Jersey. The Atlantic-US destination. Longer transit than Pacific ports but the standard East-Coast landing.

How DAF uses this data.

The rate above is the sea-freight component for this market. DAF's own sourcing runs through DAF Global Connect — Eprolo plus the brands in the DAF Shopify Collective — so freight is often bundled at the marketplace layer. Where DAF quotes a client-facing landed cost, it references these same market rates so the math the client sees is defensible.

When the range moves — as it did 28% between May and July 2026 on this lane — DAF absorbs the volatility inside the 20% ceiling. The client never sees a freight surcharge on a piece they already approved.
