Volumetric Weight

0.00 kg

Compare this number to the actual gross weight. The carrier will bill you for whichever number is higher.

Why Volumetric Weight Matters

Aircraft hold space is limited by both weight and volume. If you ship 100kg of feathers, it takes up massive space but weighs little. The carrier uses a "dimensional factor" to convert that volume into an equivalent weight for billing purposes.
