Panic about electronic charge for transporting goods (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freight

'charge for transporting goods' is the definition.
(freight can mean the cost of transporting goods)

'panic about electronic' is the wordplay.
'panic' becomes 'fright' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'fright' placed around 'e' is 'FREIGHT'.

(Other definitions for freight that I've seen before include "Transport of bulk goods" , "Cargo, goods transported" , "Goods in transit" , "Charge for carrying" , "Something carried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
