About volumetric weight
In accordance with IATA (International
Air Transport Association) volumetric standards, volumetric weight will
apply if a shipment is below a certain weight density. The chargeable
weight of airfreight is the higher of the actual gross weight or the volumetric
weight. Volumetric weight: Height (cm) x Length (cm) x Depth (cm) 
6,000.
For example, the volumetric weight of a box of 40 x 60 x 50 cm will be
20. If the gross weight of this box is 25 kg, the chargeable weight is
25 kg (25 is larger than 20), however if the weight of this box is only
1 kg, then the chargeable weight will be 20 kg (20 is larger than 1).
Volumetric weight is likely to apply when shipping objects low in weight
density such as duvets, acoustic guitars or bicycles.
