The Chargeable Weight is the Gross Weight or the Volumetric Weight of the shipment – whichever is the
greater. When calculating the cost of moving your shipment, the carrier will consider both the weight and volume of your cargo, by converting the volume into a “weight equivalent,” also known as volumetric weight (or sometimes dimensional weight). The carrier will then charge per kilogram for whichever is greater: gross weight or the volumetric weight.

How do I figure out the Chargeable Weight?
1. Work out the Gross Weight of your shipment by putting it onto weighing scales.

The weight on the scales = Gross Weight

2. Measure your shipment, then work out Volumetric Weight using the formula:

Length x Width x Height (in centimetres)
6000

Compare the weight for gross weight and volumetric weight – the Chargeable Weight is the greater of the two.
