SHIPMENT PLANNING · CHINA
Use our CBM calculator to calculate carton volume, volumetric weight and a reference chargeable weight before requesting a shipment-specific quotation.
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
01
Use the outer dimensions and gross weight, including packaging.
02
Select a dimensional divisor or enter the one provided in your quotation.
03
Copy the result and send it with your route and delivery requirements.
YOUR SHIPMENT SUMMARY
Calculated carton by carton using the higher of gross and volumetric weight. Carrier rounding, minimum charges and service-specific rules are not applied. For sea freight, use the CBM figure when requesting an FCL or LCL quotation.
This tool calculates volume and reference weight. It does not provide live freight rates, transit-time guarantees or a booking. Express formula reference · Chargeable-weight reference
HOW THE FIGURES WORK
Outer length × width × height in centimeters ÷ 1,000,000, multiplied by the number of identical cartons.
Carton volume in cubic centimeters ÷ the selected divisor. This helps compare the space occupied with gross weight.
The higher of gross and volumetric weight for each carton, summed across the shipment. Carrier rounding and minimum charges are not included.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
Does this calculate the shipping price?
No. This tool calculates volume and reference weight. Freight prices require a confirmed route, product description, cargo readiness and delivery scope. Request a written quotation for your shipment.
Which divisor should I choose?
The tool offers 6,000 as an air freight planning reference and 5,000 as an express planning reference. The divisor can vary by service and contract. Use Custom divisor when your quotation specifies a different value.
Can I enter different carton sizes?
Yes. Add a separate row for each carton size or gross weight. Enter the number of identical cartons in each row.
Can I use this for sea freight?
Use the total CBM as an input to your FCL or LCL quotation. This tool does not calculate ocean-freight revenue tons, container loading capacity or sea-freight charges.
What should I send for a quotation?
Share the calculation summary, product details, pickup location, destination country and postcode, cargo readiness and your delivery priorities.
