In the air freight business, there are two types of weight: CHARGABLEWEIGHT and GROSSWEIGHT。When the volume weight is greater than the actual weight, the goods are light foam goods, and the larger weight ratio is used as the chargeable weight;For heavy goods, the chargeable weight is equal to the actual weight, that is, the gross amount of the goods;For light foam goods, the volumetric weight of the goods is the chargeable weight。Generally speaking, the calculation is calculated according to 1 cubic meter equal to 167 kilograms, and the foam cargo that is greater than the actual weight is calculated。If it is less than 1 kg, the remainder will be rounded up。Volume weight calculation formula usually has the following two, the first is the most standard。
Volume weight (kg)= length (CM)X width (CM)X height (CM)/6000。
Volume weight (kg)= cargo volume (CBM)×167 kg。
In addition, when the airline measures the outer packaging of the goods, if the box has a prominent part, it is calculated according to the length of the prominent part, so there will be an error, the error is too large, you can ask for re-measurement, of course, it may produce a re-measurement cost。
