Export goods from Da Nang to Switzerland

The need to export goods from Da Nang to Switzerland

The need to export goods from Da Nang to Switzerland has increased significantly in recent years. This is due to the growing trade relations between Vietnam and Switzerland, as well as the strategic location of Ho Chi Minh City as a major transportation hub in Southeast Asia. Additionally, the development of infrastructure and logistics capabilities in both cities has further facilitated the export of goods between the two regions.

If you’re shipping goods from Da Nang to Switzerland by air, Best Cargo – The logistics pro is here to make your business run smoothly.

Air freight Chargeable Weight

Air freight chargeable weight is different from volumetric, dimensional, 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 choose 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).

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, you need to calculate the volume of the shipment.

Length x Width x Height = Volume (cm3)

Then you need to calculate the air-cubic-meter conversion factor. This is generally stated as 6000 cm3 = 1 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
Air freight Chargeable Weight
  • 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.
