Frequently asked questions
What is volumetric weight?
It is a weight calculated from the cargo volume. Air freight commonly uses the IATA factor of 6,000 cm³/kg (1 m³ = 166.67 kg). Freight is charged on the greater of gross weight and volumetric weight.
Is the weight calculated in the form final?
No. The form provides an estimate. The final chargeable weight depends on the airline and the rule that applies to the shipment.
When is air freight worth it?
When transit time matters more than freight cost, or when the value of the goods makes time in transit more expensive than the freight difference.
