Why Was a 100 kg Shipment Charged as 166.7 kg? ✈️📦

One question we hear often in air freight:

“My shipment weighs only 100 kg. Why am I being charged for 166.7 kg?”

Because airlines charge based on the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight.

For example:

📦 100 × 100 × 100 cm
📐 Volumetric Weight = 100 × 100 × 100 ÷ 6000
➡️ 166.7 kg chargeable weight**

So although the cargo weighs only 100 kg, it takes up the space of 166.7 kg.

The lesson?

In air freight, space can cost as much as weight.

That’s why smart packaging and efficient cargo planning can make a real difference to your freight cost.

At airsupply, we help businesses optimize not just their freight rates, but their total logistics cost.

2 Days. Shanghai to Los Angeles.

A recent air freight shipment from PVG to LAX:

32 cartons | 559 kg | 3.64 CBM
Chargeable weight: 606 kg

Shipment timeline：
Aug 5 — AWB accepted
Aug 7 — Delivered in Los Angeles

For urgent air freight, transit time is only part of the equation. Space availability, accurate documentation, flight coordination, and smooth handling all matter.

For this shipment, the priority was simple: keep the cargo moving and meet the delivery timeline.

💬 When choosing air freight, what matters more to you: speed, cost, or reliability?

🌪️ Typhoon Dolphin Hits China — What Does It Mean for Cargo?

Typhoon Dolphin has made landfall in Zhejiang, bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to eastern China.

The impact is already being felt across the logistics network, with port operations around Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan suspended or restricted. Ferry services have been halted, while air and rail services across the Yangtze River Delta are also facing disruptions.

But for shippers, the biggest concern may come after the storm.

📦 Key risks for cargo:

• Port congestion — Vessel berthing, loading and discharge may be delayed.
• Cargo backlog — Once terminals reopen, accumulated containers can create congestion.
• Vessel delays — Disruptions at origin can affect subsequent sailing schedules.
• Inland transport — Heavy rain and restrictions may slow container pickup and delivery.
• Air freight pressure — Shanghai has cancelled more than 1,300 flights, putting additional pressure on urgent shipments.

⚠️ Remember: Port reopening does not necessarily mean the supply chain is back to normal.

For exporters shipping through Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan, it’s important to keep monitoring vessel schedules, terminal updates and inland trucking capacity in the days following the storm.

💬 What do you think will be the biggest challenge after the typhoon — port congestion, vessel delays, or inland transportation?

The Right Container Can Save More Than Just Space.

Many people assume shipping starts with booking a vessel.

In reality, it starts with choosing the right container.

The wrong equipment can lead to higher freight costs, cargo damage, loading difficulties, or even shipment delays.

Here's a simple guide:

📦 Dry Container – Ideal for general cargo such as cartons, pallets, textiles, furniture, and machinery.

⬆️ High Cube Container – Best for lightweight or bulky cargo that requires additional loading height.

❄️ Re**er Container – Designed for fresh food, frozen products, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-controlled cargo.

🏗️ Open Top Container – Suitable for oversized machinery or cargo that needs to be loaded by crane from above.

🚜 Flat Rack Container – Built for heavy equipment, steel structures, vehicles, and other out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo.

🛢️ Tank Container – Used for bulk liquids, chemicals, food-grade liquids, and hazardous liquid cargo.

⛏️ Half Height Container – Commonly used for dense cargo such as stone, scrap metal, minerals, and coal.

Choosing the right container isn't just about fitting the cargo—it's about protecting the shipment, controlling costs, and ensuring smooth transportation from origin to destination.

At ASLG, we help customers evaluate cargo dimensions, handling requirements, and transport conditions before recommending the most suitable shipping solution—because every shipment deserves the right equipment from the start.

📦 Think Your Cargo Is Small? Your Freight Cost Might Say Otherwise.

When requesting an international freight quote, one measurement can make a big difference:

CBM (Cubic Meter).

CBM measures the volume of your cargo and is one of the key factors used to plan shipments and calculate freight costs.

📐 Formula:
CBM = Length × Width × Height (meters)

Or, if your dimensions are in centimeters:

CBM = (L × W × H) ÷ 1,000,000

Example:
A carton measuring 60 × 40 × 50 cm = 0.12 CBM.

Why is CBM important?

✅ Estimates freight costs more accurately
✅ Optimizes container and warehouse space
✅ Determines LCL ocean freight charges
✅ Improves load planning and shipping efficiency

One important reminder:

For air freight and courier shipments, carriers charge based on whichever is higher—the actual weight or the volumetric weight.

✈️ 𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 𝟲𝟬𝟬𝟬
🚚 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿: (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 𝟱𝟬𝟬𝟬

Knowing both the weight and the CBM before requesting a quote can help avoid unexpected costs and speed up shipment planning.

💬 Do you usually calculate your cargo's CBM yourself, or leave it to your freight forwarder?

✈️ Oversized Cargo Requires More Than Just Air Freight Capacity

Another successful air cargo movement completed:

Route: CKG → HAM
Total: 15 pallets
Weight: 8,359 kg
Volume: 19.97 CBM

Including:
🔹 4 oversized pallets
🔹 Dimension: 175 × 155 × 130 cm / pallet

For oversized shipments, the challenge is not only finding available space—it is about selecting the right aircraft capacity, planning the loading arrangement, and ensuring smooth handling throughout the journey.

Key considerations include:

✔ Oversized cargo acceptance
✔ Pallet dimension verification
✔ Loading feasibility assessment
✔ Airline coordination
✔ Secure cargo handling

From standard pallets to out-of-gauge shipments, every cargo requires a tailored logistics solution.

At PASL, we help customers move challenging shipments with reliable air freight planning and ex*****on.

💬 For oversized air cargo, what matters most to you: capacity, transit time, or handling experience?

A Shipment Can't Be Cleared Without This Document.

The Bill of Entry (BOE) is the document that officially starts the import customs clearance process.

Once submitted, it allows customs authorities to:

✔ Verify the shipment details
✔ Assess duties and taxes
✔ Complete customs inspection (if required)
✔ Issue the Out of Charge (OOC) for cargo release

A small error in the BOE can result in unnecessary delays, additional costs, or compliance issues.

That's why successful imports don't rely on transportation alone—they also depend on accurate customs documentation.

Understanding documents like the Bill of Entry helps importers move cargo more efficiently and avoid costly surprises.

💬 Which customs document do you think causes the most confusion for importers?

✈️ Fast air freight ex*****on, even with transit operations.

Another successful air cargo movement completed:

📍 Route: NKG → LUX → FRA
📦 1,696 cartons
⚖️ 10,931 kg
📐 22.428 CBM
⏱️ Transit time: 5 days

For large-volume air shipments, speed is not only about choosing the fastest flight.

It requires:
✔ Proper route planning
✔ Smooth transit coordination
✔ Close communication with airlines and handling teams
✔ Efficient shipment monitoring from origin to destination

Even with a connecting route, the shipment arrived in Frankfurt within the planned timeframe.

At ASLG, we focus on finding the right balance between transit time, capacity, and cost efficiency to support our customers' global supply chains.

💬 For your urgent air shipments, what matters most: speed, stability, or cost?

🚢 What is a CSC Plate, and Why is it Important?

If you're involved in international shipping, you've probably noticed the small metal plate attached to every shipping container. That plate is called the CSC Plate (Container Safety Convention Plate)—and it's much more than just an identification tag.

A valid CSC Plate confirms that a shipping container has been inspected, tested, and certified to meet international safety standards for global transportation.

It contains essential information such as:
📌 Approval Number
📅 Manufacturing Date
⚖️ Maximum Gross Weight
📦 Maximum Stacking Test Load
🏗️ Racking Test Load

Why does it matter?
✅ Ensures the container is safe for international transport
✅ Confirms compliance with global shipping regulations
✅ Helps prevent accidents during lifting, stacking, and handling
✅ Required by shipping lines and port authorities worldwide

Whether your cargo moves by sea, road, or rail, a valid CSC Plate is a critical part of safe and compliant international logistics.

At Airsupply, we help exporters not only connect with verified international buyers but also simplify global trade through practical industry knowledge and export insights.

💬 Did you already know what a CSC Plate is, or is this your first time hearing about it? Share your thoughts below.

Your Shipment Left... So Why Hasn't It Arrived Yet?

This is one of the most common questions in logistics—and it usually comes down to four shipping terms.

A shipment can depart later than planned, and its arrival estimate can change along the way. That's why understanding these terms matters.

🟢 ETD (Estimated Time of Departure)
When the vessel or aircraft is scheduled to leave.

🔵 ATD (Actual Time of Departure)
When it actually departs.

🟠 ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
The expected arrival time, which may change due to weather, port congestion, or operational adjustments.

🟣 ATA (Actual Time of Arrival)
When the shipment actually reaches its destination.

Think of it like tracking a flight:

🛫 ETD = Scheduled departure
✈️ ATD = Actual takeoff
🛬 ETA = Expected landing
📍 ATA = Actual landing

The key takeaway?

A changing ETA doesn't automatically mean your shipment is delayed.

The first question should always be:

"Has the shipment actually departed (ATD)?"

Understanding these four terms helps avoid confusion and improves communication between shippers, freight forwarders, carriers, and customers.

💬 Which term do you find people misunderstand the most—ETD, ATD, ETA, or ATA?
