The standard practice for billing shipment weight is to use the greater value between the physical weight and the volumetric weight. Physical weight is measured by simply weighing the cargo, while volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the cargo’s dimensions (length × width × height) and dividing by a specific coefficient—such as 6000, 5000, 4000, or 1000—depending on the mode of transport. Our team will provide you with a price quote based on the chargeable weight.

Our dedicated agent will keep you informed about your cargo’s status and progress via email, SMS, or phone. We track your shipment at every stage and provide timely updates to ensure you stay informed throughout the entire transport process.

Incoterms are three-letter codes defined by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris that specify the responsibilities of the shipper and consignee in a delivery. The agreed Incoterm between you and your customer or supplier determines the range of services we need to provide for your shipment. Common Incoterms include EXW, FOB, FCA, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DDU, and DDP.
