For the Zhengzhou to Tehran rail LCL service, volume-to-weight density is calculated at a 1:500 ratio. This means if 1 CBM of your cargo weighs more than 500 kg, the freight cost will be calculated based on the weight equivalent.

Q2: What is the difference between SOC and COC in your rail quote?

SOC (Shipper Owned Container): The container is provided/owned by the shipper.
