How to distinguish goods
*Shipping rules!
The difference between ordinary goods and sensitive goods:
Counterfeit brands, liquids, beauty products, medicines, products with batteries, compact discs, DVDs, powders, sex toys, etc. are handled as sensitive goods.
*Air transport contraband:
Dangerous goods, weapons, livestock, currency, alcohol, dangerous goods, perishables and all IATA restricted items.
*Weight calculation method:
If the object weighs 1.2kg, we will charge 2kg for air freight.
According to the air freight calculation method, the freight is based on the actual weight or the "throw weight" weight, whichever is heavier. It`s the so-called Volume Metric.
Example 1:
Actual weight of item: 1 kg
Actual volume of item: 25cm x 20cm x 30cm
Throw weight = (25 x 20 x 30)/6000
= 2.5kg
For example, if the actual weight of your goods is 1.5KG and the invoice is 1.5KG, but the volumetric weight is 4.6KG, the charge will be 5KG.
Please pay attention to this! To avoid unpleasant things happening!
Why is there a way to calculate volumetric weight?
First, let me give you an example.
Because air transportation uses aircraft, there is space in the aircraft`s warehouse.
If everyone sends some cotton wool, plastic products, etc., which takes up a lot of space on the aircraft, but the actual weighing weight is very light, the air freight and express companies have developed a volumetric weight calculation method based on the actual weight.
