Start with the CBM calculator for any shipment of cartons: it gives total volume, gross weight and the chargeable weight for sea, air and courier at once. Use the dimensional weight calculator for a single parcel or air shipment, and shipping container dimensions to see whether your goods fit in a 20 ft or 40 ft box.
| Shipping by | Charged on | Calculator |
|---|---|---|
| Sea, shared container (LCL) | The greater of CBM and tonnes (1 CBM = 1000 kg) | CBM calculator |
| Sea, full container (FCL) | Per container | Container dimensions |
| Air cargo | The greater of actual and volumetric weight (6000 cm³/kg) | Dimensional weight calculator |
| Express courier | The greater of actual and volumetric weight (usually 5000 cm³/kg) | Dimensional weight calculator |
Suppliers and forwarders quote volume in different units. Convert CBM to CFT, CFT to CBM or CBM to liters in one step.
