Most of the importers across the globe make use of Air cargo or Air freight, when they want to move their goods from one place to another, quickly and reliably. Around 90% of cargo movements happen through the ocean freight but air freight is much faster. It creates a faster connect amongst the destinations across the globe. For example, a freight movement from China to the US through ocean will have an estimated shipping time between 20 to 30 days, but the same through the air will be only 3 days. Thus, the speed of the transportation remains the USP of the air freight.
Two key factors that are considered in case of air freight are, volume and weight. In case of air shipping, the carrier will charge either on the basis of the volumetric weight or the actual weight. The volumetric weight is also referred to as dimensional weight. They will select either of them, based on which one is more expensive.
According to the rule that is followed globally, the calculation of the volumetric weight is done by multiplying the volume of the item in cubic meters by 167. For example, the volume for a typical item which is W-40 CM, H-40 CM, and L -40 CM, will be .064. You need to multiply this by 167, and which gives you a volumetric weight of 10.67 KG. The figure will be used by the shipper for the calculation of the shipping cost.
