Chargeable Weight

Air is billed on chargeable weight — the most-asked point; calculate ahead.

Actual Weight

Scale weight of the cargo, in kg.

Volumetric Weight

L×W×H ÷ 6000 (some lanes ÷5000); bulky cargo often weighs more volumetrically.

Higher Applies

Chargeable = max(actual, volumetric); compress volume and reinforce packaging for bulky cargo.

Accepted Cargo

Battery, magnetic and sensitive cargo all have mature compliant channels — no more worry about these.

General Cargo

Apparel, electronics, furniture, small machinery — general lane.

Battery Goods

Built-in / paired batteries via battery lane, compliant declaration, isolated space.

Magnetic Goods

Magnetic products with field test, via compliant channel, safe shipping.

Sensitive Cargo

Cosmetics, pastes via sensitive lane; confirm docs and packaging ahead.
