Sea & Air Freight from China to Lebanon

Billing Weight:

Shipments within 20.5 kg (inclusive) are billed as 0.5 kg increments.
Shipments exceeding 21 kg (inclusive) are billed as 1 kg increments.
1 pound (lb) = 0.5 kg

Dimensional Weight:

The higher of the actual weight and dimensional weight is used for billing.
Dimensional weight = (length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)) / 5000
Example: A shipment from Shanghai to Bab Touma with dimensions 45cm x 42cm x 17cm and an actual weight of 3 kg has a dimensional weight of 45 x 42 x 17 / 5000 ≈ 6.5 kg. Since 6.5 kg > 3 kg, the billable weight for this shipment is 6.5 kg.

Estimated delivery time: 8-10 days

Estimated delivery time: 5-7 days

DHL Restrictions:

Single shipment weight cannot exceed 300 kg.
Total shipment weight cannot exceed 3000 kg. Shipments over 1000 kg require booking and confirmation before shipping.
Single side length cannot exceed 300 cm.
Shipments must be properly packaged. Loose or irregularly packaged items will not be accepted.

Calculation Formula:
Length x Width x Height / 6000 = Chargeable Weight
The chargeable weight is determined by comparing the actual weight and volumetric weight, and the higher of the two is used.
Estimated Delivery Time:
2-10 business days from pickup to delivery
Note:
The estimated delivery time is not guaranteed and may be affected by various factors such as weather, traffic conditions, and customs clearance procedures.

Dimensional Weight Calculation:
Maximum Dimensions: L300W230H15
Air Freight Volumetric Weight Calculation Formula:
1 cubic meter = 167 kg
(LengthWidthHeight)/6000 = kg (Length, width, and height units are "cm")
These two volumetric weight calculation formulas are standard calculation formulas used by all airlines worldwide.
Example Volumetric Weight Calculation:
An air freight shipment has a total volume of 1 cubic meter and a gross weight of 130 kg. The shipment consists of 8 cartons, each measuring 505050 cm.
Volumetric weight = 8*(505050)/6000 = 166.6666 kgs = 167 kgs
Since 167 kgs is greater than 130 kgs, the volumetric weight exceeds the actual weight of the shipment. Therefore, this shipment is considered "dimensional weight" and will be charged based on its volumetric weight.

Types of Cargo Exported from China by Air:

General Cargo: This category includes a wide range of items, such as furniture, appliances, mobile phones and accessories, clothing, bags, shoes, computers, office supplies, outdoor equipment, auto parts, books, and musical instruments.
