Air Freight

The rate for air freight is based on weight. Weight is calculated in kilograms (one kilogram equals 2.204 pounds). Air carriers charge whichever is greater: real weight or dimensional weight. If the freight is light but large in size, you will be charged the dimensional weight. Freight charges are calculated using this formula: L (length) x W (width) x H (height) divided by 166 equals weight in pounds x .454 to get the chargeable weight in kilograms.
