Dimensional basis
Calculate multiple package sizes together and see whether actual or dimensional weight drives the shipping charge.
Billing rules
Choose the carrier rule, then add one row for each identical package size.
The value is in cm³/kg. Enter the factor from your rate agreement when it differs.
Divisors and rounding rules vary by carrier, service, origin country, and contract. Confirm the applicable rate sheet before quoting.
Enter the packed gross weight of one package in each row.

Logistics planning notice
This tool is a planning aid only. Actual freight charges, customs treatment, chargeable weight, carrier rules, warehouse limits, and contractual terms must be confirmed with the carrier, forwarder, warehouse, or official shipping documents.

Dimensional weight converts occupied space into a weight equivalent. Carriers commonly compare actual and dimensional weight for each package and bill the larger value.
5000 is common for international express and 6000 for general air cargo. Always use the factor shown by your carrier or forwarder.
If the carrier rates each piece, compare actual and dimensional weight per package first, then add the billable weights.
Minimum charges, fuel and security surcharges, pickup, customs, remote-area fees, and carrier remeasurement can change the final amount.

Practical cases
Review the conditions commonly missed in loading and freight comparisons.
Nominal cubic capacity alone can point to the wrong container. A realistic choice also checks internal dimensions, carton orientation, pallets, stack height, payload and door clearance.
Air is fast but volumetric weight can be high. Ocean is cheaper per unit but adds lead time and inventory financing. Compare total delivered cost and the cost of delay.
CBM measures occupied space. Volumetric weight converts that space into a billing weight. Air and ocean freight use different rules, so the same shipment can have different chargeable bases.
