How is CBM calculated?
CBM per carton = length × width × height in cm ÷ 1,000,000. Multiply by the number of cartons for total CBM.
What is volumetric weight?
It converts a shipment’s volume into a weight using a divisor (5000 for air, 6000 for courier), so bulky-but-light cargo is priced fairly.
What is chargeable weight?
Carriers charge on the higher of actual and volumetric weight — that higher figure is the chargeable weight.
