Amazon’s packaging requirements are exceptionally strict and can be difficult to manage with Chinese suppliers.
That’s where we come in! Our KFH team guarantees that all packaging meets 100% of Amazon FBA standards and provides accurate labeling for every box, ensuring your shipments are fully compliant and ready for seamless delivery.
What is the Chargeable Weight Calculation Method for FBA Shipments?
The chargeable weight for shipments from China to an Amazon FBA center is determined in the same way as air freight from China, based on both gross weight and volumetric weight. While gross weight measures the actual weight of each carton, volumetric weight is calculated using the carton’s dimensions.
- Gross Weight: This is the actual measured weight of each carton.
- Volumetric Weight: This is calculated using the size of the carton.
Consider a shipment consisting of 50 cartons, each weighing 13 kg with dimensions of 45 cm × 45 cm × 40 cm.
Gross Weight Calculation:
- Gross Weight per Carton: 13 kg
- Total Gross Weight: 50 cartons × 13 kg/carton = 650 kg
Volumetric Weight Calculation:
- Volumetric Weight per Carton: (45 cm × 45 cm × 40 cm) ÷ 6000 = 13.5 kg
- Total Volumetric Weight: 50 cartons × 13.5 kg/carton = 675 kg
Since the volumetric weight (675 kg) is greater than the gross weight (650 kg), the final chargeable weight for this shipment is 675 kg.
Handling Special Packing Sizes and Weights
There are instances where some cartons may have a gross weight larger than their volumetric weight, and vice versa. Regardless of the size and weight variations, we can accurately calculate the final chargeable weight for your shipments.
