Volumetric / Chargeable Weight

Transport & Modalities

Volumetric / Chargeable Weight

Volumetric weight, or chargeable weight, is the pricing method carriers use when a shipment's volume is disproportionate to its actual weight. It ensures pricing reflects space taken up, not just kilos carried.

Why It Matters

Procurement must monitor volumetric charges to avoid surprises, especially in air and parcel freight. Optimizing packaging and consolidating shipments can significantly reduce chargeable weight costs.
