| The principle on application of air cargo tariff |
| - It applies according to the issue date of an air waybill. - The tariff of an air cargo is set for transport from airport to airport. - The local currency applies, except many countries using USD. - The tarif for all cargoes is set per KG, except that the cargo departing from USA is set per LB. - The authorization of local government is required for valid application. You can revise without an additional notice. |
| A principle on tariff of air cargo |
| - Calculate an applicable tariff by Chargeable weight *KG/LB - Payment should be made by either prepaid or charges collect with valuation charge. - The actual route taken has nothing to do with the route used to calculate the freight charge. |
| Calculate Chargeable weight |
| 1. By actual weight Weight under 0.5 Kg marks up as 0.5Kg and weight over 0.6 marks up as 1Kg 2. By volume value The maximum volume(width*length*height) multiplied by standard weight for unit volume is the charge. The maximum volume rounds off to the nearest whole number. Standard weight : 6000CUCM= 1.0KG 366CUIN = 1.0KG 166CUIN = 1.0LB [ sample ] The volume weight of cargo that has 162cm width, 156cm length, and 141cm height. ① 162cm X 156cm X 141cm = 3,563,352㎤ ② 3,563,352㎤ / 6,000 = 593.892kg ③ Volume Weight = 594kg ※ The higher number between actual weight and volume weight will be the chargeable weight |
| Decide the applicable tariff |
| 1. 1. Decide applicable type of tariff based on item and journey 2. 2. Confirm chargeable tariff |
| Calculate tariff |
| Charge of air cargo is calculated by chargeable weight X tariff. If the calculated tariff is lower than the minimum charge for each city, the minimum charge will apply. |
| At high level of weight, examine possibility that the lower charge is applicable. |
| At high level of weight, if charge becomes lower by applying lower tariff, the lower charge will apply. |
