Regular Service

Air cargo is used by global importers and exporters when they need to get goods somewhere rapidly and reliably. While 90% of cargoes are shipped by ocean freight, air freight connects the world faster, cutting China-Europe freight shipping time from 30 days by ocean to only three days by air cargo.

International air freight and express freight shipments are not the same things.

Express air freight is typically handled by one company (like DHL, UPS or FedEx) that handles the entire shipment lifecycle, with shipping from door to door in under five days. These express air freight shipments are usually smaller (less than one cubic meter and 200 kilograms) than air freight.

Air freight Volumetric Weight

When it comes to air freight shipping, weight and volume are key factors. Air carriers will charge by either volumetric weight (also known as dimensional weight) or actual weight, depending on which is more expensive.

The air shipping global rule of thumb is to calculate the volumetric weight is to multiply the item’s volume in cubic meters by 167. The volume is for a package that is W: 40cm, H: 40cm L:40 would have a .064 (the product of all sides divided by one million). Multiple by 167, and you get a volumetric weight of 10.67 kg.
