Overview of Chargeable Weight Calculation

Chargeable weight is a crucial aspect of air freight logistics. It is the official weight used by airlines to determine the cost of transporting cargo. The chargeable weight is not merely the actual weight of the goods being shipped; it accounts for both weight and volume considerations.

  • Density Factor: Understanding the density factor and how it affects chargeable weight is essential for accurate calculations.

2. Volumetric Weight Calculation

To calculate volumetric weight, the formula length x width x height divided by the volumetric factor is employed. This helps in determining a standardized weight value based on the dimensions of the shipment.

Dimensional weight, or volumetric weight, plays a significant role in chargeable weight calculation. It ensures fairness in charging customers for the space their packages occupy.
