EQUIVALENCE : 1 CBM = 167 KG
EXAMPLE
> N. 8 packages, total weight kg. 450, dimensions of each package 75 x 65 x 80 cm.
> The volume of the shipment is 8 x 75 x 65 x 80 = 3.12 m3
> The taxable weight is then 3,12 m3 x 167 = 521 kg > 450 kg
> The shipment cost will be calculated on the chargeable weight of 521 kg.
Transport rates are calculated based on the greater of the total weight or actual weight of the total volume (called also “taxable”) of all the packages part of a shipment. The taxable weight is calculated by multiplying the volume of the package with the weight-volume ratio considered by the type of transportation.
