FAQ
- How is volumetric weight calculated?
- Vol. weight (kg) = L(cm) × W × H ÷ divisor. Air often uses 5000; express may use 6000.
- Why is chargeable weight higher than actual?
- Light, bulky cargo uses more space — carriers charge on volumetric weight to recover capacity cost.
- How is this different from the CBM calculator?
- CBM gives cubic meters for ocean LCL; this tool gives air/express chargeable weight.
- Divisor 5000 vs 6000?
- Confirm with your forwarder. 5000 is common for air; many express carriers use 6000.
- Is it free?
- Yes — local processing.
