Air chargeable weight

Why volume matters

Chargeable weight usually compares gross actual weight with volumetric weight. Confirm the divisor, rounding and tariff rules with the carrier.

Worked example

At an agreed divisor of 6,000, a 100×80×60 cm package has volumetric weight of 80 kg. If actual weight is 50 kg, the initial comparison selects 80 kg; minimum charges and rate breaks may still affect the invoice.

Packaging decisions

Measure final outer dimensions including pallets. Reduce empty space without weakening protection, and declare stackability, batteries and special cargo.

Before you proceed

• Final package dimensions.
• Gross weight and piece count.
• Divisor, minimum and airport charges.
