While both terms are often used interchangeably, "freight" typically refers to the cost of transporting goods, especially in commercial terms. "Cargo," on the other hand, refers to the actual goods or commodities being transported.
In short, cargo is the content, while freight may refer to the charge, method, or process of transport. Freight also commonly involves larger-scale or industrial shipments.
