Air chargeable weight
Compare gross and volumetric weight for your shipment.
Group packages of identical dimensions. Weight means the combined weight of all packages in that group, including packaging. Use centimetres for dimensions; a comma or period is accepted for decimals.
Calculation method
CBM = Count × Length × Width × Height ÷ 1,000,000
Volumetric weight (kg) = total volume (cm³) ÷ 6,000. Estimated CW = the greater of total gross and total volumetric weight.
Added groups are treated as one shipment. Results display two decimal places without measurement or tariff rounding. Carrier rounding, minimum weights and tariff conditions can change the final CW.
