RM180 per parcel with at least one side ≥ 150 cm.
Extension fee (East Malaysia) either side ≥ 150 cm
Example: 150 × 20 × 30 cm, actual weight 10 kg, volumetric weight 15 kg, market price RM36/kg → RM200 + (15 × 36) = RM740.
Actual weight, volumetric weight,
and the rule that picks one.
Actual Weight
The weight of the goods themselves plus the packaging materials.
Volumetric Weight
Length × Width × Height ÷ 6000. This estimates how much space the parcel takes up in the aircraft / container.
The Rule
- If actual weight ≥ volumetric weight, charges are based on the actual weight.
- If volumetric weight > actual weight by ≤ 10 kg, charges are still based on the actual weight.
- If volumetric weight > actual weight by > 10 kg (Half Volumetric), final weight = (actual + volumetric) ÷ 2.
- Final weight × the route's per-kg rate = your freight charge.
Worked Examples
Example 1. Actual 30 kg, volumetric 39 kg. Difference ≤ 10 kg → charge based on 30 kg.
Example 2. Actual 30 kg, volumetric 61 kg. Difference > 10 kg → Half Volumetric = (30 + 61) ÷ 2 = 45.5 kg → round up to 46 kg.
Standing terms.
