How do I determine the "volume weight"? Volume weight is determined by using the following calculations for those shipments with dimensions in centimeters: (Length x Width x Height) divided by 6000 = volume in kilograms. Are my airfreight charges based on the actual weight of the cargo only? IATA regulations state that the cost of airfreight must be calculated on the "chargeable" weight. IATA defines the "chargeable weight" as the actual gross weight or the volume weight, whichever is greater. When does the carriers liability begin and end? The Company shall be liable for loss of or damage to the goods occurring between the time when the Company takes the goods into its charge and the time of delivery. What is the limitation for goods that are lost or damaged? For delay, depreciation of or damage to goods, the freight forwarder's liability is limited to SDR (Special Drawing Rights) 8.33 per kg gross of the part of the goods, which have been lost, depreciated or damaged.
