Additional Information:

Volume Weight Calculation Formula:
1 cubic meter = 167kg
(Length x Width x Height) / 6000 = kg (Length, width, and height units are in "cm")
Volume Weight Rule: If the volume weight is greater than the actual weight, the
volume weight will be used for bilpng.
Example:
Airway bill shows total volume as 1 cubic meter and total weight as 130kg for 8 cartons of
goods. Each carton measures 50cm x 50cm x 50cm.
Volume weight = 8 * (50cm x 50cm x 50cm) / 6000 = 166.6666kg = 167kg
Since 167kg is greater than 130kg, the volume weight is greater than the actual weight.
Therefore, the volume weight will be used for billing.
Please note: These rates are subject to change.
It is always recommended to contact a freight forwarder for the most up-to-date
pricing.
