Let’s consider a shipment of a sofa with dimensions 200cm x 100cm x 80cm and a weight of 50kg.

Air Freight Calculation

Volume Weight: (200cm x 100cm x 80cm) / 6000 = 26.67kg

Chargeable Weight: 50kg (Actual Weight)

Total Cost: (First 0.5kg x $19.50) + (Additional 0.5kg x $6.50) + (21kg x $12.50/kg) + (8kg x $12.00/kg) = $595.50

Sea Freight Calculation

Chargeable Volume: 1.6 CBM

Total Cost: 1.6 CBM x $270/CBM = $432
