A freight charge is a price at which a certain cargo is delivered from one point to another. The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport (truck, ship, train, aircraft), the weight of the cargo, and the distance to the delivery destination. Many shipping services, especially air carriers, use dimensional weight for calculating the price, which takes into account both weight and volume of the cargo.

In ship chartering, freight is the price which a charterer pays a ship owner for the use of a ship in a voyage charter

Define freight costs plus handling?

"Whatever we think we can get away with charging." Freight costs is simple: it's whatever the shipping company charges to deliver the package from point A to point B. Handling is a lot more complicated. At one place I worked, "order fulfillment" was its own division of the company, and it charged other divisions a flat fee per order plus a line item fee for each different item on that order. This was done to take advantage of economies of scale but still have each division be responsible for its own shipping costs instead of "sponging" off the rest of the company.
