Volumetric Weight Calculator |
 |
 Sometimes, large items with a light overall weight relative to its size can be charged according to the space the shipment takes up on an aircraft. In these cases, Volumetric Weight, or dimensional (Dim) weight, is used to calculate the shipment cost. It is recommended that you calculate the Volumetric Weight for every shipment that you send, and then compare this to its actual weight so that you anticipate the correct costs of shipping. DTW will charge for the actual or volumetric (Dimensional / DIM) weight, whichever is greater.
 International Volumetric
Weights are calculated using the formula below:
(Length x Width x
Height in centimeters) / 6000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms
