What is the difference between actual weight, volumetric weight, and chargeable weight in cross-border logistics? Who is the weight that determines the freight rate? _Baidu Friends who do cross-border e-commerce must be particularly sensitive to the word "weight", after all, for cross-border shipments, weight is the most direct factor determining freight rates. In the cross-border logistics industry, there is more than one weight. Today, we will talk about the three major weight concepts in cross-border logistics: actual weight, volumetric weight, and chargeable weight. Actual Weight, as the name suggests, refers to the physical weight obtained by weighing goods. Generally speaking, actual weight also includes Gross Weight and Net Weight. In cross-border logistics, actual weight is usually referred to as the actual gross weight. In our common thinking, the billing for goods should be based on the actual weight, right? Actually, its not true. Keep reading! Volumetric Weight refers to the weight calculated based on the volume of the cargo. It is not difficult to understand, because in the process of cross-border transportation, the position of transportation vehicles is limited (especially airplanes), and if the volume of goods is too large (such as cotton, woven crafts, etc.), it will occupy more space. Simply calculating shipping costs based on weight is obviously not very reasonable, so there is a term for volumetric weight, which has a calculation formula. Generally speaking, the volumetric weight calculation method for air freight is: length x width x height/6000. The volumetric weight calculation formula for the four major express delivery companies (DHL, TNT, FedEx, UPS) is: length x width x height/5000. Seeing this, someone should have noticed what "6000" and "5000" mean in the above two formulas? They are a proprietary term in the cross-border logistics industry, called "bubble counting coefficient" (also known as "drop counting coefficient"), also known as "bubble ratio" (also known as "drop ratio"), commonly referred to as "bubble counting coefficient" by cross-border good luck platforms. Since we have all talked about the bubble coefficient, we have to mention another term - bubble goods (also known as "throwing goods"). So what is "bubble goods"? The term block lifting mill generally refers to goods that are lightweight and bulky. For such goods, physical weight alone is not enough, and volumetric weight calculation is also required. Common types of foam goods include cotton, chairs, large toys, models, etc. For the convenience of calculation, the above formula can also be modified as follows: first calculate the weight of 1 cubic meter of goods, and then use it as the base to multiply the actual volume of the goods, that is, using CM as the basic calculation unit, the unit weight of 1 cubic meter (CBM) of goods is: 100 * 100 * 100/6000=166.666kg, that is, 1CBM=167kg. (Note: CBM is an abbreviation for cubic meter in English, meaning cubic meter.) For example, a shipment of air freight weighs 438 kilograms and has a volume of 2.79 CBM. The volume weight of this shipment is 2.79 * 167=466KG. Chargeable Weight refers to the weight used to calculate the final freight cost. To determine the chargeable weight, it is closely related to the actual weight and volume weight mentioned earlier. The usual rules are as follows:

1. When calculating the actual weight and volume weight of goods, the larger of the two is usually used
