Express Shipping Rates from China to Cameroon
Pricing and Billing for Express Shipments
These rates apply to shipments handled by DHL, UPS, and FedEx.

Billing Weight

Shipments weighing up to 20.5 kg (inclusive) will be billed at the actual weight.
Shipments weighing less than 0.5 kg will be billed at the minimum weight of 0.5 kg.
Shipments weighing over 21 kg (inclusive) will be billed at the next whole kilogram.
Conversion: 1 kg = 0.5 kg

Calculating Billing Weight

The billing weight is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight.
Volumetric weight = (length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)) / 5000

Example

A shipment from Shanghai to Douala has dimensions of 45 cm x 42 cm x 17 cm and an actual weight of 3 kg. The volumetric weight is calculated as follows:
Volumetric weight = (45 cm x 42 cm x 17 cm) / 5000 ≈ 6.5 kg
Since 6.5 kg is greater than 3 kg, the billing weight for this shipment will be 6.5 kg.
