China to Taiwan Freight Formula
Freight is calculated by billable weight multiplied by the rate. Billable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight.
1. Volumetric weight
Volumetric weight (kg) = L(cm) ร W(cm) ร H(cm) รท 10000
A 50ร40ร30 cm box is 6 kg by volume.
2. Billable weight
Billable weight = MAX(actual weight, volumetric weight)
Bulky light goods are charged by volume.
3. Total freight
Total freight = billable weight ร rate per kg
Sea NT$25/kg, business sea express NT$45/kg, sea express NT$50/kg, air NT$100/kg.
Freight Examples
Example A: storage box
60ร40ร40 cm, actual 1.5 kg
Volume = 9.6 kg, so billable weight is 9.6 kg
Sea about NT$240; air about NT$960.
Bulky light goods are usually cheaper by sea.
Example B: supplements
20ร15ร15 cm, actual 4 kg
Volume = 0.45 kg, so billable weight is 4 kg
Sea about NT$100; air about NT$400.
Small heavy goods remain affordable.
Example C: mobile phone
18ร10ร6 cm, actual 0.4 kg
Volume = 0.11 kg, minimum billable weight applies
Air starts around NT$100.
For urgent higher-value goods, air is practical.
Example D: 1688 apparel batch
20 parcels consolidated, actual 35 kg
Volume 24 kg, so actual 35 kg is used
Sea about NT$875; business sea express about NT$1,575.
B2B restocking can use business sea express for speed.
