CALCULATIONS

Calculating the volume (dimensional) weight

Volume = Length × Width × Height in CM (centimeters) or IN (inches).

Volume Weight Rounding Rule

When calculating volume weight in kilograms (kgs), the result shall be rounded up to the next higher whole or half-kilogram. If in pounds (Ibs), round up to the next higher whole pound.
For example: 2.4 kgs rounds to 2.5 kgs, 4.2 lbs rounds to 5 Ibs.

Volume Rounding Rule

Before calculating the volume of an air shipment, any half or larger fraction of a centimeter or inch shall be rounded up to the next higher whole centimeter or inch.
For smaller fractions, round to the next lower whole centimeter or inch.
For example: 2.6 CM rounds to 3 CM, 5.3 IN rounds to 5 IN.
