Calculations

Calculating the volume (dimensional) weight:

Volume =Length x width x Height in CM ( Centimetres ) or IN (inches)

Volume CM x CM x CM IN x IN x IN IN x IN x IN Cubic Meters Cubic Feet

Conversion Formula /6000 /166 /366 /0.006 x 10.41

Volume weight Volume Weight (in Kilograms) Volume Weight (in pounds) Volume Weight (in kilograms) Volume Weight (in Kilograms) Volume Weight ( in Pounds)

Volume Weight Rounding Rule:

When Calculating volume weight in kilograms ( Kgs), the results shall be rounded up to the next higher whole or half kilograms. If in pounds (lbs.), round up to the next higher whole pound. For example: 2.4 kgs rounds to 2.5 kgs, 4.2 lbs. rounds to 5 lbs.

Volume Rounding Rule:

Before calculating the volume of an air shipment, any half or larger fractions of a centimeter or inch shall be rounded up to the next higher whole centimeter or inch. For smaller fractions, round to the next lower whole centimeter or inch For example: 2.6 CM rounds to 3 CM, 5.3 IN rounds to 5 IN.
