calculated: chargeable weight explained<\/h2>\n\n<p>Airlines generally charge the higher of the shipment\u2019s gross weight and its volumetric weight.

The carrier therefore compares the actual gross weight with the calculated volumetric weight and applies the higher figure.<\/p>\n\n<p>Use this process before requesting quotations:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:disc;padding-left:1.5em\">\n<li>Measure each carton in centimetres, including the final packaging.<\/li>\n<li>Multiply length by width by height for each carton.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the result by 6,000 to obtain the volumetric weight in kilograms.<\/li>\n<li>Add the volumetric weights of all cartons.<\/li>\n<li>Compare that total with the shipment\u2019s actual gross weight.<\/li>\n<li>Use the higher figure as the estimated chargeable weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Air cargo and express courier services may use different rules. A divisor of 5,000 is often used by couriers, but you should verify the applicable divisor with the carrier before estimating a courier shipment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9dcc37c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9dcc37c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dcfb09db\" data-id=\"dcfb09db\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d2248c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d2248c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Worked example: 20 cartons from China to Northern Europe<\/h3>\n\n<p>Assume you have 20 cartons.

freight quote from China?<\/h2>\n\n<p>A door-to-door air freight quote combines pickup and export handling in China, the air freight rate and surcharges, destination handling, customs clearance with duties and taxes, and final delivery. Compare every line, because a lower per-kilogram rate may conceal higher fixed charges elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n<p>An airport-to-airport index normally covers the air transport reference between specified airports.

The declared value, origin, destination and Incoterm also affect the final amount. For example, an airport-to-airport quotation and a door-to-door quotation do not have the same cost scope.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ask whether the offer is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/iccwbo.org\/business-solutions\/incoterms-rules\/incoterms-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"color:#05224d;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold\">Incoterms 2020<\/a>, who is responsible for import clearance and whether duties and VAT are included or merely estimated. A quote marked \u201ccustoms included\u201d should still identify whether it includes brokerage only or also the actual duties and taxes.<\/p>\n\n<p>For small shipments, fixed charges can represent a large share of the total. This is why two offers using the same air freight rate per kilogram can produce different totals once pickup, documentation, handling and delivery are added.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

up or down?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Air freight prices move with available capacity, demand peaks, fuel costs, e-commerce volumes and disruptions that divert cargo from sea to air. Booking before peak periods and providing complete cargo information early can reduce avoidable cost, although no forwarder can guarantee a fixed market rate months in advance.<\/p>\n\n<p>Demand often rises before Chinese New Year and during the fourth quarter, when retailers prepare for major sales periods and year-end consumption. During these periods, space may tighten and carriers may apply higher rates or stricter booking conditions.<\/p>\n\n<table>\n<tr><td><strong>Factor<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Possible effect<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What you can do<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Capacity<\/td><td>Limited aircraft space can push rates up<\/td><td>Book earlier and keep alternative departure dates<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Chinese New Year<\/td><td>Pre-holiday demand can increase prices<\/td><td>Plan replenishment before the peak booking period<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Q4 demand<\/td><td>Retail and e-commerce volumes can tighten capacity<\/td><td>Forecast stock and reserve space ahead of peak weeks<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Fuel<\/td><td>Fuel surcharges can increase the total<\/td><td>Check whether the surcharge is included or variable<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Sea disruption<\/td><td>Cargo may shift from ocean to air, increasing demand<\/td><td>Compare air, sea and hybrid options before an urgent shipment<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Shipment density<\/td><td>Bulky goods generate more chargeable weight<\/td><td>Optimise packaging and use final packed dimensions<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/en\/publications\/economics\/reports\/global-outlook-for-air-transport-december-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"color:#05224d;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold\">IATA\u2019s 2026 outlook<\/a>, reported by STAT Times, projected air cargo demand growth of 2.6% in 2026 after 3.1% in 2025.

Once volume and weight increase, LCL or FCL sea freight is generally cheaper per unit, so you should compare total landed cost with the financial cost of waiting.<\/p>\n\n<p>For a 1 m\u00b3 shipment weighing 300 kg, the air chargeable weight is 300 kg because the actual weight is higher than the approximate volumetric weight of 166.7 kg. At the September 2026 Northern Europe index rate, the illustrative air freight line is 300 \u00d7 USD 4.88 = <span  style=\"color:#AD1225\">USD 1,464<\/span>, before other charges.<\/p>\n\n<p>For context, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drewry.co.uk\/supply-chain-advisors\/supply-chain-expertise\/world-container-index-assessed-by-drewry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"color:#05224d;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold\">Drewry World Container Index<\/a> reported a Shanghai-Rotterdam rate of USD 3,485 per 40-foot container on 24 September 2026.

Send corrected documents promptly and obtain written confirmation of the new delivery plan, especially if the goods are time-sensitive or subject to storage limits.\"}}]}<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf007ed1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cf007ed1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29b70094 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"29b70094\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"26363\" class=\"elementor elementor-26363\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7497305d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7497305d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ba962b9\" data-id=\"6ba962b9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2ba74477 overflow-hidden elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2ba74477\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-38d8c0a6\" data-id=\"38d8c0a6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9223786 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"9223786\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                            <span class=\"sub-title\">\r\n                    Ask us anything!                <\/span>\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Need Help with <br>Logistics or Sourcing ?<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">First, we secure the <strong>right products <\/strong>from the <strong>right suppliers <\/strong>at the <strong>right price<\/strong> by managing the sourcing process from start to finish.
