How to Calculate Chargeable Weight for Air Freight Shipments

Actual weight VS Volumetric weight

Air freight rate depends on the weight, but due to a limited loading space, weight is not the only parameter to consider,

Sometimes the shipping company will charge based on the space the product takes up instead of its weight. this is called volumetric weight.

This is to ensure that the airline company can make a profit even if they are transporting a large but light object that takes up a lot of space.

It's important to understand the difference between actual weight and volumetric weight because you may be charged based on the volumetric weight without realizing it

There are two method to calculate the volumetric weight:

One is Length (cm)  X Width (cm)  X  Height(cm) / 6000

Second is use the formula 1CBM : 167KGS.  

For example,if you send a goods that measures 100cm x 100cm x 100cm and weighs 100kg, the logistics firm will not charge you based on its actual weight (100kg). Due to the package's size and the space it takes up, the relationship between its size and weight must be converted.

Therefore, let us proceed with the conversion.

By Express Dimensional weight (express) =100cm x 100cm x 100cm/5000=200KGS

By Airline Dimensional weight (air freight) =100cm x 100cm x 100cm/6000=167KGS

By Air will be 1m X 1m X 1m= 1CBM X 167 =167KGS

As you can see, the dimensional weight is significantly more than its actual weight.

So if we choice to ship by airline , chargeable weight will be 167KGS. But if we ship by courier company like DHL, Fedex, TNT, chargeable weight will be 200KGS

But if this same dimension 100cm x 100cm x 100cm, weight is 300KGS, chargeable weight will be actual weight as 300KGS

This is standard practice in the logistics industry, as companies charge based on the maximum amount.

Therefore, to reduce shipping costs, it may be necessary to compress the package and decrease its measurement volume.

This can help ensure that the package is charged based on its actual weight, rather than its volumetric weight.

Air freight vs Sea freight

Opting for air freight over sea freight has numerous advantages. The primary benefit is the significantly shorter delivery time. Depending on the chosen delivery destination, sea freight can take up to a month or more. In contrast, air freight can transport your consignment from the factory floor to your office in just five days.

Delivery time is contingent on the chosen shipping class: Economy or Express. By selecting air freight, you can save a considerable amount of time. In fact, it may surprise you to learn that five percent of international cargo volume is transported by air.

It's important to note, however, that air freight is more expensive than sea freight. Despite its faster delivery times, air freight is not the preferred option due to its higher cost. Nevertheless, if you believe that time is money and you can save a month on transit time, paying additional shipping charges is justified.

Many importers prefer a hybrid approach, choosing to have a portion of their order delivered by air while the remainder is shipped by sea. This strategy helps maintain sales while also managing costs.
