  1. 1. Normalize one package: 80 × 60 × 50 cm; quantity = 10.
  2. 2. Volumetric weight = 240,000 cm³ ÷ 6,000 × 10 = 400 kg.
  3. 3. Actual gross weight = 42 kg × 10 = 420 kg.
  4. 4. Chargeable weight = max(420, 400) = 420 kg.
  5. 5. Base freight = 420 × 4 = 1,680.
  6. 6. Fuel = 1,680 × 12% = 201.6; security = 420 × 0.1 = 42.
  7. 7. Subtotal = 1,680 + 201.6 + 42 + 50 handling + 20 documentation = 1,993.6.
  8. 8. Estimated freight = max(1,993.6, 0 minimum) = 1,993.6.

Uses only the rates and fees you enter. Airline, forwarder and tariff rules can use different divisors, rounding, weight breaks, minimums and surcharges; customs, duties, pickup, delivery and other accessorials are not inferred.
