    • Disclaimer: CNSnap is not liable for customs detention; suggestions are based on past experience.

4. Volume Weight Calculation

For lightweight, bulky items, freight is determined by volume weight:

  • Formula: Volume Weight (KG) = Length (CM) × Width (CM) × Height (CM) / 6,000
  • Examples:
    • 6,000 CM³ = 1 KG volume weight.
    • 1 M³ = 167 KG volume weight.
