The taxable weight is a concept depending on the mode of international transport service that we offer freight forwarders. With the exception of the full container FCL, the freight forwarder usually needs to calculate the volumetric weight and then measurable weight.

Volumetric weight: is the equivalent in kilograms of the volume covering the goods. Each type of transportation has its own equivalence and generally the following apply:

• Maritime groupage (LCL) – Weight volume (kg) volume (m3) x 1,000 – 1 m3 1 Ton
• Air transport – weight volume (kg) volume (m3) x 167 – 1 m3 167 kg
• Land transportation (LTL) – weight volume (kg) volume (m3) x 333

Taxable or chargeable, weight is calculated as the highest number among the gross weight and the volumetric weight.
