The latter only seems to be a factor when transportation takes place by sea.Value only really comes into it if you're insuring a product, or to get it through customs.So, one way or another, you're going to have to take weight into account. Maybe you can guesstimate some approximation of weight to order value, depends on your product? -- Clive
