Understanding Volumetric Weight #

Air cargo pricing is based on volumetric weight (also called dimensional weight), not just actual weight.

The formula used is:
Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 6000

Example: A box measuring 60 x 40 x 50 cm
Volumetric weight = (60 × 40 × 50) ÷ 6000 = 20kg

Whichever is higher between actual weight and volumetric weight will be used to calculate the shipping cost.

We use a standard-sized box that carries approximately 21kg of volumetric weight, making it ideal for our minimum requirement.

Sea Shipping Also Available #

  • Delivery Timeline: 45–50 days

  • Best for: Large-volume goods and non-urgent shipments
