What is Volumetric Weight?
Volumetric weight (dimensional weight) is used by international couriers to calculate shipping cost based on package size instead of actual weight.
Formula
Length × Width × Height ÷ 6000
If a package is large but light, carriers charge based on space occupied rather than actual weight.
Why It Matters
- Shipping cost is based on the higher value between actual and volumetric weight
- Large boxes cost more even if light
- Critical for eCommerce sellers and importers
