Frequently Asked Questions
What is Volumetric (Dimensional) Weight?
Volumetric weight is a pricing technique used by freight forwarders and airlines reflecting package density. Bulky lightweight items take up valuable aircraft space and are billed according to volume rather than actual scale weight.
What is the difference between 5000 and 6000 divisors?
Express couriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS typically divide cubic centimeters by 5,000. Commercial air cargo under IATA regulations uses 6,000, which gives a lower volumetric weight for palletized goods.
How many CBM fits into a standard shipping container?
A standard 20ft container holds approximately 33 CBM (usable: ~28 CBM). A 40ft container holds 67 CBM (usable: ~58 CBM), and a 40ft High Cube holds around 76 CBM (usable: ~68 CBM).
What is Chargeable Weight?
Chargeable weight is whichever is greater between the Actual Gross Weight and the Volumetric Weight. Carriers bill you on whichever number is higher.
