In international shipping, shipping costs are calculated based on the larger value of the product's actual weight and volumetric weight.
This is a common rate standard for air and international express logistics, and it applies the same in most countries.
✅ How do I calculate the volume weight?
The volume weight is calculated by the following formula. Volume Weight (kg) = (width cm × length cm × height cm) ÷ 5,000\n\n [example] Packaging box size: 40 × 30 × 20 cm\n → Volume weight = (40 × 30 × 20) ÷ 5,000 = 4.8 kg\n\n If the actual weight of this product is 2 kg, the shipping cost will be charged based on the volume weight of 4.8 kg.
✅ In which cases is the bulk weight applied more?
In the following cases, the volume weight is higher than the actual weight, which may result in additional costs.
- Light but bulky clothing, blankets, products including cushioning, etc
- a box-oriented product
- The packaging is large due to the variety of reward components
