bongdaso wap
This is a free online bongdaso wap, to help you calculate for a shipment, shipping by sea (LCL), by road (LTL), by air, or by courier/express methods.
To learn more about the concept ofChargeable bongdaso wap, imagine a real-life case where a 300kg shipment is charged by the airline for 400kg. It sounds absurd, but there is a reason for it.
The airline does not miscalculate the bongdaso wap of the cargo. They only use the bongdaso wap to calculate the freight, not the actual bongdaso wap of the cargo (300kg). Instead, they use the bongdaso wap converted from the volume of the package, in this example 400kg.
The problem for customers is that they do not understand when to use the actual bongdaso wap, and when to use the bongdaso wap converted from the volume?
If there is a general answer, it is: actual bongdaso wap or converted bongdaso wap, whichever is larger, the freight will be calculated accordingly.
Of course, there must be a specific formula and regulations in the calculation to ensure consistency and transparency in applying freight rates to each shipment.
More details will be presented in the next section below. First, an explanation of the term...
What is Chargeable bongdaso wap?
Chargeable bongdaso wap is the bongdaso wap figure of the goods, which use to calculate freight amount. This bongdaso wap is taken as the larger of two quantities: Actual bongdaso wap (AW), and Volumetric bongdaso wap (VW), or Dimensional bongdaso wap (DW).
Actual bongdaso wap (AW) is the bongdaso wap of the goods that we often use, which can be measured by a scale. For example, a package weighs 10kg.
Volume (VW) is calculated by dividing the volume of the package by the conversion factor. This factor is 6000 for Air freight, and 5000 for express freight.
After knowing AW and VW, compare and see which number is larger, that is Chargeable bongdaso wap.
How to calculate Chargeable bongdaso wap for Air cargo shipments?
To calculate Chargeable bongdaso wap for Air cargo in general, the following steps are required:
1. Calculate the actual bongdaso wap (AW). If the shipment consists of many different types of goods, then add up the total bongdaso wap of all types. The unit of bongdaso wap is kilogram (kg), or pound (lb).
2. Calculate the volumetric bongdaso wap (VW). It is necessary to measure the length, width, and height of each unit of goods. For goods that are not rectangular, convert them to the surrounding box to get the size. The unit of size is: centimeter (cm), or inch (in). Then the formula is:
VW = (Length x Width x Height)/Conversion factor
Depending on the unit of size and unit of bongdaso wap, the Conversion factor is different, specifically as follows:
Unit |
cm |
in |
kg |
6000 |
366 |
lb |
2721 |
166 |
Note:Normally in Vietnam we still use the units "cm" and "kg", then the conversion factor is 6000, and the formula to calculate VW will be:
VW = (Length x Width x Height)/6000
For example: A package has dimensions of 60cm x 20cm x 10cm, then the mass
VW = (60 x 20 x 10)/6000 = 2kg.
3. Calculate Chargeable bongdaso wap:After calculating the 2 masses AW and VW (same unit kg or lb), compare and take the higher value which is Chargeable bongdaso wap.
How to calculate Chargeable bongdaso wap for Express shipments
The above explains the formula for calculating Chargeable bongdaso wap for Air shipments. For Express shipments, the coefficient may not be 6000. Carriers such as DHL/Fedex/UPS/TNT apply different rates for different areas, refer to Shipit.com:
Centimeters / Kilograms:
- DHL: 5000 hoặc 4000 tùy theo tiêu chí quốc gia nhập khẩu
- FedEx: 6000 (mới) hoặc 5000 (cũ, vẫn dùng cho Châu Á) với các lô hàng quốc tế, 7000 với các lô hàng nội địa (Hoa Kỳ)
- UPS: 6000 hoặc 5000 tùy theo tiêu chí quốc gia nhập khẩu
Inches / Pounds:
- FedEx Express & UPS: 139
- FedEx Ground and UPS Ground: 139
How to calculate Chargeable bongdaso wap for LCL sea freight
With sea freight: the same method is used as Chargeable bongdaso wap in the case of containerized cargo (LCL), but the calculation is simpler than with Air or Express cargo.
With LCL cargo, just compare 2 quantities: actual bongdaso wap (in Tons) and cargo volume (in CBM - Cubic Meters), the larger number will be used to calculate the freight. Therefore, in LCL shipping, you will see on the quote that the common unit is W/M (bongdaso wap or Measurement), which means that the freight and other fees will be calculated according to the larger number between tons and cubic meters.
For example: a shipment weighing 1.2 tons (AW = 1.2 tons) has a capacity of 1.5m3 (meaning VW = 1.5 tons). Then the freight volume will be the larger number between AW and VW, meaning 1.5 tons.
However, this concept of Chargeable bongdaso wap is less used in sea transport than in Air and Express cargo as presented in the above section.
The above formula can be a bit complicated, and users often do not remember what the conversion factor is. That is why Vinalogs has built thisonline bongdaso wap integratedon our website so that you can use it quickly and conveniently.
Hope this tool is useful to you.
