Volumetric Weight

Volumetric weight or dimensional weight is widely used in the logistics industry around the world to ascertain the density of a shipment when placed in a vehicle or storage area. Volumetric weight is compared against the actual weight and the higher weight is used to calculate the actual cost. It is practiced by all domestic and international courier and logistics providers.

 

Volumetric Weight Formula (Kg) = Length(cm) x Width(cm) x Height(cm) / 5000

Dangerous Goods

‘Dangerous goods’ are materials or items with hazardous properties which, if not properly controlled, present a potential hazard to human health and safety, infrastructure and/ or their means of transport.

The transportation of dangerous goods is controlled and governed by a variety of different regulatory regimes, operating at both the national and international levels. Prominent regulatory frameworks for the transportation of dangerous goods include the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, ICAO’s Technical Instructions, IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations and the IMO’s International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. Collectively, these regulatory regimes mandate how dangerous goods are to be handled, packaged, labelled and transported.

Classification of dangerous goods is broken down into nine classes according to the type of danger materials or items present.

The 9 Classes of Dangerous Goods

If you are unsure whether your shipment is categorized as dangerous goods or not, ask the manufacturer or supplier for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). If it contains a UN number, it is dangerous goods.

It’s the shipper’s responsibility to ensure dangerous goods are correctly declared, packed and labelled with the right documentation for the countries of origin, transit and destination.
