For instance, Hong Kong DHL-6000 sets the number to be 6000, which makes it cheaper to deliver low-density products. The higher the DIM factor, the lower the DIM weight, which usually means lower shipping charges.<\/p><p>Additionally, whether the shipment is domestic or international might influence the volumetric factor.

This solution is cheap but faster than ordinary sea freight.<\/p><p>In this case, we can still use the above 4 steps to calculate the DIM weight and freight charges.<\/p><p>Under the &#8220;sea freight plus courier&#8221; shipping mode, shipments are generally charged per kilogram, different from the ordinary sea freight charge by CBM.<\/p><p>Here suppose that the freight forwarder offers a quotation: $3.5 per kg.<\/p><p><strong>Dimensional Weight Calculation<\/strong>: the total shipment volume \/ DIM factor = 3,210,480 cm\u00b3 \/ 6000 = 535.08 kg.
