Calculate foam mass separately from shipping weight
Newin Best confirms EVA foam density of 70 kg/m³ and hardness Shore C 34–36. For a nominal 1 × 1 m tile at 20 mm, foam-only mass is 1 × 1 × 0.02 × 70 = 1.4 kg. This calculation excludes surface finishes, packaging and dimensional tolerances. Ask for net and gross weights measured for the approved packing configuration.
Build a carton-based loading estimate
Record the external carton length, width and height in metres, and multiply them for carton volume. For example, a hypothetical 0.62 × 0.62 × 0.22 m carton is approximately 0.0846 m³; 500 cartons occupy about 42.3 m³ before loading losses. These figures illustrate the method and are not Newin Best packing specifications. Confirm cartons per pallet, pallet heights, door clearance and the actual container offered by the carrier.
Choose the shipment term with a named place
Write the selected trade term, named port or place and Incoterms 2020 version in the quotation. Under FOB, delivery and risk transfer occur when goods are on board at the agreed shipment port. CIF includes seller-arranged freight and insurance to the named destination port, while risk transfers at shipment. DDP assigns import clearance and duties to the seller; confirm that arrangement is workable in the destination country.
Request the final loading and cost sheet
Ask for total tiles, cartons, net weight, gross weight and CBM, plus the loading plan and shipping marks. Separate ocean freight, insurance, destination handling, customs charges and inland delivery in the cost comparison. Sailing dates and transit time come from a current carrier schedule and remain subject to booking and port conditions.
| Thickness of 1 m² foam tile | Calculated foam-only mass at 70 kg/m³ |

| 10 mm | 0.70 kg |
| 20 mm | 1.40 kg |
| 25 mm | 1.75 kg |
| 40 mm | 2.80 kg |
