1. Three Core Weight & Volume Standards
1. Actual Weight
The real weight of combined parcels weighed by electronic scale, unit: KG.
2. Volumetric Weight
Applied to bulky light goods such as clothes, dolls and daily textiles.
Formula: Volumetric Weight(kg) = Length(cm) × Width(cm) × Height(cm) ÷ 6000
3. Chargeable Weight (Final Billing Standard)
-
Air freight: Adopt the larger one between actual weight and volumetric weight; less than 0.5KG is calculated as 0.5KG.
-
Sea freight: Calculated directly by cubic meter (CBM) without weight conversion.
2. Air Freight Rules (Suitable for Small & Urgent Goods)
Applicable Scene
Small scattered parcels, samples and high-value goods. Transit time: 4-5 working days to Manila, door-to-door with tax included.
