Understanding Volumetric Weight When Shipping from UK to Kenya

When calculating the cost of shipping from UK to Kenya, freight companies charge based on either the actual weight of the cargo or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.

Volumetric weight measures the amount of space your shipment occupies in an aircraft or cargo container.

The formula used in international air freight is:

Length × Width × Height ÷ 5000

For example:

If a box measures 60cm × 40cm × 50cm

60 × 40 × 50 ÷ 5000 = 24kg volumetric weight

If the physical weight of the shipment is 18kg, the freight charge will be based on 24kg, because the shipment occupies more space during transportation.

Understanding volumetric weight helps customers estimate accurate costs when shipping cargo from the UK to Kenya.
