International air cargo weight details

According to airline rules,

When the volume of the goods is small and the weight is large, the actual weight shall be calculated;

When the goods are large in volume and weight, they are calculated by volume.

In the centralized consignment, a batch of goods consists of several different goods, there are light bulks and heavy goods, and its billing weight is measured by the total gross weight or total volume of the whole batch of goods, according to the higher of the two.

Note:

1.CBM is short for Cubic Meter.

When calculating, you can use CM multiplication conversion, you can also use M directly conversion.

80cm*80cm*60cm/6000=64Kg 0.8m*0.8m*0.6m*167=64kg

2. The volume weight of international express is calculated according to length × width × height ÷5000, such as DHL, UPS, FEDEX and so on.

The volume weight of domestic express is usually measured by length × width × height ÷6000

3. The division of heavy cargo and light cargo by sea is much simpler than air freight, and China's sea LCL business is to distinguish heavy cargo and light cargo according to the standard that 1 cubic meter is equal to 1 ton. And sea LCL is calculated according to the volume of freight, and air freight according to the weight calculation has a fundamental difference, so it is relatively simple, in the sea LCL, heavy goods are rare, basically light goods.

A. According to the stowage of the ship,

Any cargo whose stowage factor is less than the ship's capacity factor is called heavy cargo;

The cargo whose stowage factor is greater than the ship's capacity factor is called light cargo/bulked cargo.

B. In accordance with freight calculation and international shipping practice,

Cargo whose stowing factor is less than 1.1328 cubic meters/ton or 40 cubic feet/ton is called heavy cargo;

Cargo with stow factor greater than 1.1328 cubic meters/ton or 40 cubic feet/ton is referred to as light cargo/bulked cargo.

4. In fact, the division between heavy and non-heavy cargo in air transport is much more complex.

The proportion of air cargo is generally divided into:

Less than 1:300; 1:300; 1:500; 1:1000 these levels;

And heavy cargo, flat cargo, light cargo and so on.

1:300 or more, usually called heavy cargo;

1:167 below, generally referred to as light cargo

There are also 1:200 below called light goods;

That which is neither heavy nor light is called flat,

Like 1:250, how is the specific gravity of the matter calculated? It's actually very simple,

Divide the total gross weight (KG) by the total volume (CBM).

That is: cargo weight = gross weight (KG)/ volume (CBM).

In short, if international air transport wants to be the most cost-effective, it is still necessary to choose according to the type of goods, weight, time, etc., air transport has to the airport and to the door service.
