Weight calculator

Calculate the chargeable weight

In air freight, the higher of gross and volumetric weight is charged. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in cm, divided by 6,000.

Pieces: 5Gross weight: 336.0 kgVolume: 2.208 m³

One line per piece size: number of identical pieces, their dimensions and the weight of one piece. Sample values: two pallets and three cartons.

Load planning · air freight
    The calculation uses the contour plans and Lufthansa Cargo ULD and fleet data: each piece is placed in the cross-section of the contour, on the lower deck with 318 cm across and 244 cm lengthwise, on the main deck with 244 cm across and 318 cm lengthwise. LD3 containers (AKE) by internal dimensions and door opening 141 × 150 cm, PKC on the A320 and A321 lower deck up to 116 cm including ULD. Payload per ULD is the maximum gross weight minus tare, e.g. PMC 6,703 kg, AKE 1,504 kg, PKC 1,555 kg (A320: 1,101 kg). Assumptions: 2 cm pallet base, 3 cm safety distance, at least 10 cm dunnage for overhang on the lower deck, pallets raised by at most 15 cm. Cartons are stacked, pallets only if “stackable” is ticked. Position counts are for the whole aircraft; less may be available on a given flight. Indicative values; final loading depends on aircraft, position and airline.
    CO₂ comparison

    Air, sea, sea-air or road: what does your shipment emit?

    Choose origin and destination freely and compare the estimated greenhouse gas emissions and typical transit times of the options that are common on this route. The calculation uses average emission factors in line with the GLEC Framework and ISO 14083.

    Estimate in CO₂e, well-to-wheel, main carriage only, without pre- and on-carriage. Factors per tonne-kilometre: air freight 800 g, ocean container 14 g, truck 85 g CO₂e, mid-range values within the GLEC defaults. Air: great-circle distance plus 95 km. Sea: shortest route on the Eurostat maritime network via the Suez and Panama Canals; diversions around the Cape of Good Hope significantly increase distance, transit time and emissions. Road: straight-line distance × 1.25. Sea-air is only shown on lanes where it is common, via Dubai, Colombo or Los Angeles. Transit times are indicative: air door to door, sea port to port. For binding figures we calculate your shipment individually.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    What does a shipment cost?

    The price depends on the chargeable weight, the route, the type of goods and the service you need. In air freight the higher of actual and volumetric weight applies, in LCL ocean freight weight or volume, and with FCL the whole container. Our weight calculator shows you in advance which weight will be charged, and you get a binding quote via the enquiry form.

    How long does transport take?

    Air freight usually reaches its destination door to door within a few days, depending on the connection and handling. Ocean freight takes roughly two to six weeks port to port, depending on the trade lane. The sea-air combination sits in between. Details are on the AIRselect and SEAselect pages.

    Which documents do I need?

    Usually a commercial invoice, a packing list with dimensions and weights, and your EORI number. For customs clearance you also need a customs power of attorney, and for dangerous goods the safety data sheet. The customs page shows which documents import and export require.

    Do you also handle customs clearance?

    Yes. We handle import and export clearance, transit procedures, proof of origin and export control and sanctions checks. You can book customs together with transport or on its own; more on the customs page.

    Do you ship dangerous goods, temperature-controlled goods or live animals?

    Yes, there are dedicated products for this: DANair for dangerous goods, TEMair for temperature-controlled shipments and LIVair for live animals, and in ocean freight DANsea and TEMsea.

    How do I request a shipment?

    Send us the type of goods, dimensions, weight and route via the enquiry form, or give us a call. We check the requirements and send you a quote. Background on common questions is in our guides.
