How the price is calculated
We charge by chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight (1 m³ = 200 kg). Documents, customs clearance and door delivery are added to the route rate.
Calculation example
Cargo of 100 kg and 0.8 m³ → volumetric weight 160 kg → chargeable weight 160 kg. Multiply by the route rate; your manager confirms the final quote.
