Freight Chargeable Weight Calculations

Gross Weight: The actual weight of the cargo when placed on a cargo weight scaling unit.

Volume Weight: the result of converting the volume of the shipment into LBS or KGS

Chargeable weight: The weight based on which charges are calculated and usually is the higher number between the Gross Weight and the Volume Weight.

1 CBM ( Cubic Meter ) = 166.667 Kgs

Less than a Container Load ( LCL ) chargeable weight :

The higher number in Weight and Volume ( W/M )

1 CBM ( Cubic Meter ) = 1000 Kgs ( 1 Ton )

Less than a Truck Load ( LTL ) chargeable weight – North America:

The higher number in Weight and Volume ( W/M )

1 CBM ( Cubic Meter )  =  353.15 Kgs   ( 777 LBS ) *

Rate calculations may vary based on the FREIGHT CLASS NUMBER for the cargo ( Please click HERE to know the Freight Class Number of your shipment )

Less than a Truck Load ( LTL ) chargeable weight – Rest of the world ( Except of North America ) :

The higher number in Weight and Volume ( W/M )
