An all-in rate is a single price that bundles the base ocean or air freight with surcharges such as BAF, PSS and sometimes origin charges, instead of listing each one.
All-in rates are simpler for the customer, but they hide which part moved when a surcharge changes, and they make it harder to split charges correctly by Incoterm.
Many forwarders quote the main freight all-in and list local charges separately. Whatever you choose, keep it consistent in your rate sheet so every quote is built the same way.

An all-in rate combines base freight with the surcharges (BAF, PSS, sometimes origin and destination charges) into one figure. Customers like it because it is easy to compare. The risk is in what "all" means: some all-in rates cover freight and surcharges only, others include local charges.
