INTL TRADE - Measurement Caculation - Air & Sea

Sample:

Carton Dimensions: 40cm X 40cm X 60cm each carton
Carton Gross Weight: 6kg each Carton
Inner Packets: 24 Packets per export Carton

Calculate Airfreight cost:

If known Cartons No.: 15 Cartons / Freight Rate: AUD 2.90/kg, Calculation as below:

Actual Weight = 6kg x 15 = 90 kg
Total CBM / Cartons = 96000 cm 3 1kg = 6000 cm3
Volumetric Weight = 96000 cm3 x 15 cartons / 6000 cm3 = 240 kg

As we choose the greater weight as the chargeable weight, we use volumetric weight which is 240kg to calculate total Freight Cost.

Total Freight = 240 kg x $2.9/kg = $696


Calculate Ocean Freight Cost.

If known: Cartons No: 150 Cartons / Freight Rate: AUD 80.00/cbm, Calculation as below:

1. Actual CBM = 96000 cm3 x 150 = 0.096m3 x 150 = 14.40m3
2. Gross Weight = 6kg x 150 = 900 kg 1000kg = 1m3
CBM = 900kg / 1000kg = 0.9 m3

As we choose the greater Volume as the chargeable Volume, we use actual CBM 14.40m3 to calculate total Freight Cost.

Total Freight = 14.40m3 x $80.00/cbm = $1152
