andMaritime TransportationUnlike land transportation, air transportation is carried out by aircraft or other means. Since the purchase, operation, and maintenance costs of aircraft are much higher than those of cars, air transportation is more expensive than other transportation methods but is faster and more convenient. So, how to calculate the cost of air transportation?Air TransportationHow to calculate the air freight price
Domestic heavy goods: Heavy goods refer to goods with a weight of more than 1 kg per 6000 cubic centimeters or more than 166.67 kg per 1CBM (cubic meter). Internationally: Goods with a weight of more than 1 kg per 166 cubic centimeters or more than 1 kg per 166 cubic inches. The chargeable weight of heavy goods is their actual weight (gross weight). The gross weight of goods is in kilograms, and the minimum charging unit is 0.5 kg or 1 pound (determined by each airline). When the weight is less than 0.5 kg, it is calculated as 0.5 kg; when the minimum unit is 1 kg, if it is less than 1 kg, it is calculated as 1 kg.
Lightweight goods (also known as foam goods, commonly referred to as light goods) A: Actual weight B: Volume weight. If A > B, it is a heavy good, and vice versa. Domestically: Lightweight goods refer to goods with a weight of less than 1 kg per 6000 cubic inches or less than 166.67 kg per 1CBM (cubic meter). Internationally: Goods with a weight of less than 1 kg per 366 cubic inches or less than 1 pound per 166 cubic inches. Lightweight goods are charged according to their dimensional weight, and the calculation method is as follows: Measure the longest, widest, and highest parts of the goods regardless of their geometric shape, in centimeters, meters, or inches. Volume weight (kg) = length (cm) × width (cm) × height (cm) ÷ 6000. = cargo volume (cubic meters) × 167 kg. = cargo volume (cubic inches) ÷ 366.
Bulky cargo (also known as foam cargo, commonly called lightweight cargo) A: Actual weight B: Volumetric weight. If A>B, its heavy cargo, otherwise its light cargo. Domestic: Lightweight cargo refers to goods weighing 000 cubic inches with weight less than 1 kg, or 1 CBM (cubic meter) weight less than 166.67 kg. International: Goods weighing less than 1 kg per 366 cubic inches or less than 1 pound per 166 cubic inches. Lightweight cargo is charged by dimensional weight, calculated as follows: Measure the longest.widest.highest parts of the cargo regardless of geometric shape, in centimeters.meters or inches. Volumetric weight (kg)=length(cm)×width(cm)×height(cm)÷6000. =Cargo volume(cubic meters)×167kg. =Cargo volume(cubic inches)÷366.
