Air Freight Cost Calculation and Chargeable Weight
Air freight charges are usually calculated based on the chargeable weight, which is the higher value between the actual weight and volumetric weight of your shipment. Understanding how airlines calculate weight helps you estimate your shipping cost more accurately.
Actual Weight
The actual weight is the physical weight of your cargo measured by a scale after packing.
Volumetric Weight
Airlines calculate volumetric weight based on cargo size because aircraft space is limited. Formula: Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 6000
Chargeable Weight
The chargeable weight is the higher value between actual weight and volumetric weight, which determines the final freight cost.
Example Calculation
Carton Size: 80 × 60 × 50 cm
Volumetric Weight: 80 × 60 × 50 ÷ 6000
= 40 KG
