How Charges Are Calculated #
Chargeable WeightAir freight charges are based not only on actual weight but also on parcel dimensions — commonly known as volumetric (dimensional) weight.
- a. The chargeable weight for each parcel is the greater of its actual weight and its volumetric weight
- For example, if a parcel’s actual weight is 3.1 kg and its volumetric weight is 2.1 kg, the chargeable weight is 3.1 kg, which rounds up to 3.5 kg in 500 g increments
- b. The chargeable weight for a shipment order is the sum of the chargeable weights of all parcels in that order
- c. Volumetric weight formula for international freight: L (cm) × W (cm) × H (cm) ÷ 5000
- The minimum chargeable weight for consolidated routes is 1 kg; fractions under 1 kg are rounded up to 1 kg. Up to 10 kg, weight is rounded up in 500 g increments; above 10 kg, it is rounded up in 1 kg increments. For example, a chargeable weight of 1.3 kg is billed as 1.5 kg, and 10.2 kg is billed as 11 kg.
- If the actual weight is 2 kg or under and the volumetric weight does not exceed 5 kg, only the actual weight is used, rounded up in 500 g increments — so 1.3 kg is billed as 1.5 kg.
