Pricing and Weight Calculation
Applicable for DHL, UPS, and FedEx:
Shipments weighing up to 20.5 kg (inclusive) will be charged as 0.5 kg increments for any weight less than 0.5 kg.
Shipments weighing over 21 kg (inclusive) will be charged in 1 kg increments for any weight less than 1 kg.
1 pound = 0.5 kg
The chargeable weight for each piece is determined by comparing the actual weight and volumetric weight, whichever is greater. Volumetric weight is calculated as: (length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)) ÷ 5000
Example: A shipment from Shanghai to Babydas measures 45 cm x 42 cm x 17 cm and weighs 3 kg. Its volumetric weight is 45 x 42 x 17 / 5000 ≈ 6.5 kg. Since 6.5 > 3, the chargeable weight for this shipment is 6.5 kg.

Volume Weight (kg) = 8 * (50 * 50 * 50) / 6000 = 166.6666 kg = 167 kg
