Dimensional Weight & Surcharge Rules for DHL/FedEx/UPS (Japan Route)
Shipping costs to Japan depend on “chargeable weight”—the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight. Light, bulky clothing (cotton dresses, knit sweaters) often use dimensional weight. Below are carrier-specific rules for Japan-bound shipments:
1. Dimensional Weight Calculation Standards
All three carriers use consistent formulas for Japan-bound shipments, with minor application variations:
DHL Dimensional Weight
Centimeters (cm): Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6,000
Inches (in): Dimensional Weight (lbs) = Length × Width × Height (in³) ÷ 166
Example: A package of wool sweaters (actual weight 5 kg, dimensions 90cm×75cm×60cm) has a dimensional weight of (90×75×60)÷6,000 = 67.5 kg. Chargeable weight = 67.5 kg.
FedEx Dimensional Weight
Same formula as DHL: Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6,000
Key Note: No minimum weight exemption for Japan. Even lightweight items (silk scarves) use the higher of actual or dimensional weight. Use FedEx’s online calculator for pre-shipment estimates.
UPS Dimensional Weight
Formula: Dimensional Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm³) ÷ 6,000
Important Rule: “Large packages” (see oversize rules) have a 40 kg minimum chargeable weight—critical for bulk clothing shipments to Japan.
2. Overweight & Oversize (Overlength) Surcharges
Bulk clothing often exceeds standard limits. Below are Japan-specific rules to avoid unexpected fees:
DHL Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight: Chargeable weight >68 kg/piece. Surcharge: $145/piece + 12%-28% fuel surcharge. Requires 9cm pallets.
Oversize: Single side >118 cm. Surcharge: $88/piece + fuel surcharge.
Combined Surcharge: Only higher overweight fee applies if both apply.
Restrictions: Prior confirmation for >68 kg/118 cm. Rejected if single side >270 cm or total dimensions >300 cm.
FedEx Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight: Actual weight >30 kg/piece. Surcharge: $108 (30-70 kg); $215 (>70 kg) + fuel surcharge.
Oversize: Single side >107 cm or total dimensions >165 cm. Surcharge: $118 (107-274 cm); $235 (>274 cm) + fuel surcharge. Irregular packaging adds 35%.
Restrictions: Max single side 274 cm. >90 kg requires formal customs docs with detailed specs.
UPS Overweight & Oversize Rules
Overweight: Actual weight ≥24 kg/piece. Surcharge: $66 (24-70 kg). Rejects >70 kg to Japan.
Oversize:
Level 1: Longest side ≥118 cm or second-longest ≥76 cm. Surcharge: $52/piece.
Level 2: Length + 2×width + 2×height ≥295 cm. Surcharge: $86/piece + 40 kg minimum weight.
Restrictions: Rejects >274 cm single side, >400 cm circumference, or wooden crates.
3. Circumference Surcharge Rules
Circumference (length + 2×width + 2×height for rectangles; diameter×π + length for cylinders) affects irregular shipments (rolled fabric, bulk knitwear):
DHL Circumference Rules
No specific surcharges for Japan. Cylindrical packages (rolled scarves) are cost-effective if <118 cm single side and <68 kg.
FedEx Circumference Rules
≤330 cm: No surcharge (check oversize by side length).
330-400 cm: Severe oversize, $235/piece + fuel surcharge.
>400 cm: Requires special freight or rejection.
Example: Rolled wool fabric (120cm length, 60cm diameter) → circumference = (60×3.14)+120=308.4 cm → no surcharge.
UPS Circumference Rules
