Note: After converting the results, compare the Total Gross Weight (after packing) with the Total Volumetric Weight (after conversion). Whichever is greater will be used as the volume for calculating sea freight charges.
Including:
Dimensions of each package: 150cm x 110cm x 160cm.
Weight per package: 700 kgs.
Step 1: Calculate the total weight of the shipment
Formula: Total weight of shipment = Weight per package x number of packages => 700kg x 3 packages = 2100kg
Step 2: Determine the cubic meter (CBM) for the shipment
CBM = Length x Width x Height (in meters) x number of packages
=> CBM of shipment = 1.5m x 1.1m x 1.6m x 3 = 7.92 CBM (m3)
Step 3: Compare the total weight of the shipment with the CBM. Shipping charges are calculated based on the higher value
=> In this case, we compare: 2.1 (total weight) < 7.92 (CBM) => Shipping charges for this shipment will be calculated based on CBM
Step 4: Calculate shipping charges based on CBM or total weight
=> The shipping charges calculated based on CBM for this shipment would be: Charge = 100 x 7.92 = $792
