Regarding all the sea shipments, the rate will be calculated on the highest measurement considering 1CBM = 1,000 Kgs (1 tons)
In order to calculate the chargeable weight:
- Number of CBM * 167 KGS
- (L*H*W)/ 6,000
Example 1:
Volume: 3 CBM
Weight: 5 tons
Ocean freight will be based on 5 and not 3
Example 2:
Volume: 3 CBM
Weight: 2 tons
Ocean freight will be based on 3 instead of 2
