Each parcel must be measured and its volumetric weight must be calculated. If the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight, the volumetric weight is used to calculate the cost. The formula for calculating the volumetric weight is shown below, where length*height*width is divided by 166 for air parcels and 300 for sea parcels.
