Lifting costs are usually relatively higher cost of continued heavy.
3. Actual weight and volume:
Refers to the need to transport a group of goods, including packaging, including the actual total weight as actual weight;
The delivery items when needed larger and less actual weight, because of transportation (planes, trains, boats, cars, etc.) can load carrying capacity and the limited volume of goods, items need to be taken to measure the weight of the volume converted as calculate the weight of freight, is called volume weight or volume.
Volume weight than actual weight of goods were often referred to as parabolic light / light bulb thing.
4. Billing Weight:
In real weight and volume of the definitions and provisions of the International Air Cargo Association, calculate and collect the goods during transport freight is based on the bulk and weight of the actual weight and size of the calculation of higher weight among the two.

20 + (7 × 2-1) * 9 = 137 (yuan)
B) When the required posting and delivery of the actual weight of small items larger, standard freight charge Xuan timber, and then the above formula, the total freight. Product demand derived the following formula:
The rules item: Long (cm) × width (cm) × high (cm) ÷ 5000 = Weight (KG)

C) International Express fuel surcharge will be added to
Such as DHL Express fuel surcharge at this time 16%, but also in the formula (A) plus the result of: freight × 16%
