Air freight Chargeable Weight
Air freight chargeable weight is different from the volumetric or dimensional weight and gross weight. Rather, the chargeable weight is the quantified weight upon which the carrier charges you on the invoice, which can be either the gross or the volumetric weight of your shipment, whichever is higher.
In any situation, freight carriers would always choose the higher value between the volumetric and the actual weight of the cargo. This is fair enough because cotton shipments will occupy more space while steel shipments will weigh more. In both cases, carriers would be choosing the measurement with greater value.
Product Weight + Packaging/Pallet Weight = Gross Weight
It is generally accepted that the actual weight of the cargo is measured using the metric system, e.g. kilograms and any imperial units such as pounds are converted into metric units for ease of calculation (1 kg = 2.205 lb).
The air freight volumetric weight, or dimensional weight
The air freight volumetric weight, or dimensional weight, is an estimated weight value based on a package’s length, width and height.
To calculate the volumetric weight, there are a few steps. First, you need to calculate the volume of the shipment.
Length x Width x Height = Volume
Make sure that the volume is converted into cubic metres (m3) or cbm. If you are measuring the dimensions in inches, then you need to convert the volume from cubic inches to cbm (1 cbm = 61,024 cubic inches). And lastly, you need to do the air cubic conversion factor.
This is generally stated as 6000 cm3 = 1 kg or 1 cbm (cubic metre) = 167 kg.
Let’s take a look at a measurement example. Here’s the known shipment measurement:
- Length: 50 cm
- Width: 25 cm
- Height: 70 cm
- Product weight: 18 kg
- Packaging weight: 2 kg
- Let’s calculate the gross weight:
18 kg + 2 kg = 20 kg
- Now let’s calculate the volumetric weight:
(50 cm x 25 cm x 70 cm) / 6000 = 87,500 cm3 / 6000 = 14.58 kg
Since the chargeable weight always uses the measurement with the greater value, in this situation we will use the gross weight, which is 20 kg. Next, you can check with the carrier or carrier’s agent for the price per kg and multiply it by you
