How to use it

Use this before contacting a forwarder, especially when volume, weight, and channel choice can change costs. It helps you ask clearer quote questions.

  1. Enter actual weight and dimensions to calculate volumetric and chargeable weight.
  2. Add air and sea rates, surcharge, and handling fee.
  3. Compare estimated air and sea costs to decide whether to change channel or packaging.
  4. Before shipment, confirm sensitive cargo, compensation, customs, and delivery rules with the forwarder.

Checks before using

  • Volume divisor matches the quoted channel
  • Peak, fuel, remote, and handling fees are included
  • Product is not restricted or prohibited
  • Compensation and delay responsibility are in writing

Calculation and evaluation basis

Air kg = max(actual kg, cm*cm*cm/divisor). CBM = cm*cm*cm/1000000. Ocean basis is CBM, actual kg, or W/M assumed as max(CBM, kg/1000), never air dimensional weight. Cost = max(quantity*your rate, minimum base charge)*(1+surcharge)+handling. Verify rounding, minimums and excluded fees against the actual quote.

These notes support a first-pass decision. Before buying software, scaling ads, shipping goods, or handling tax matters, verify against platform dashboards, service contracts, official pricing pages, and professional advice.

Limits and assumptions

  • All default rates are illustrations, not market quotes
  • Confirm the quote basis, minimum charge and surcharge order with your forwarder
  • Duties, customs, insurance, storage and destination delivery are excluded

Highlights

  • Converts dimensions into chargeable weight
  • Separates air and sea quote assumptions
  • Useful before asking a forwarder for a formal quote
