H2: Air Freight Cost Calculation – Know Exactly What You’ll Pay

We use the international air cargo standard to calculate your shipping fee – no hidden costs. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Calculate Volumetric Weight

Airlines charge based on the greater of two weights: actual weight (how much your cargo weighs) or volumetric weight (how much space it occupies).
The formula for volumetric weight (in kg) is:
Volumetric Weight (kg) = Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) / 6000

Step 2: Compare Actual Weight vs. Volumetric Weight

  • Dense Goods (e.g., auto parts, watches): Actual weight > volumetric weight – we charge based on actual weight.

  • Bulky Light Goods (e.g., apparel, empty luggage): Volumetric weight > actual weight – we charge based on volumetric weight.

Example

Suppose you’re shipping 200 cotton hoodies (apparel) from Guangzhou to London LHR:

  • Package dimensions: 60cm × 50cm × 40cm

  • Actual weight: 22 kg

  • Volumetric weight: (60×50×40)/6000 = 20 kg

  • We charge based on actual weight (22 kg) (since it’s higher).
