Freight calculator
Weight
Build a practical estimate from your cargo details. Results explain the assumptions and help you prepare a better RFQ.
Weight Calculator
Convert between kg and lbs for large orders. Helpful when your supplier quotes per carton but you need total shipment weight.
Optional: per-unit dimensions (for volumetric / dimensional weight check)
Volumetric / chargeable weight rules
- Air freight chargeable kg = (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 6,000. Express couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) use ÷ 5,000.
- Sea LCL chargeable: 1 CBM is treated as 1,000 kg — you pay on whichever is greater (W/M, weight-or-measure).
- If volumetric weight > actual weight, your cargo is "light & bulky" — better packaging or denser palletisation directly cuts costs.
- ⚠ Lithium batteries and dangerous goods cannot be shipped without a Shipper's Declaration (IATA DGR / IMDG); rates are 2–5× standard.
