TechnicalRegister
Law noun
The remuneration payable to a carrier or shipowner for the carriage of goods by sea.
Freight was deemed earned on shipment and was payable whether or not the cargo was lost in transit.
Business noun
Goods transported in bulk by ship, aircraft, rail, or lorry, or the charge for doing so.
Air freight is faster but four times the cost of sea, so we reserve it for urgent orders.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
