Seafreight - How to calculate CBM :

For Seafreight Industry , carrier will charge based on Cubic Metres (CBM).
How to Determine Cubic Metres (CBM) , we need to calculate CBM in Metres (m) :
L x W x H
e.g. 3,30m (L) x 2.30m (W) x 1.30m (H)
= 9.87 CBM
General Purpose /Dry Container can pack/stuff to Maximum CBM (Internal Capacity)as per below Equipment Specification and also subject to your commodity and how it is packed.

Airfreight - How to calculate Volume Weight :

For Airfreight Industry , Airline will charge based on Weight or Volume Weight.
How to Determine Volume Weight , we need to calculate CBM in Metres (m) :
L x W x H
e.g. 33cm (L) x 23cm (W) x 13cm (H) - 10 kgs per box
= 9867/6000 x 1 box

= 1.64 kgs per box

Volumetric weight is 1.64 kgs vs 10 kgs Actual weight

We will need to declare the weight whichever is higher to the airlines, for this case, The actual Weight of 10 kgs will be declared.

Volumetric weight must be calculated by dividing by a denominator of 6000 in your formula when calculating cubic centimeters (cm) or dividing by 166 when calculating cubic inches (ins)

P/S : Make sure that your cargo can fit through the airline's loading doors
