Calculating the dimensional weight of your shipment The transport costs for your shipments are calculated on the basis of the total weight of all packages sent under one FedEx Air Waybill. A decisive factor for calculating the price, however, is whether the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight*.
FedEx applies:
(Length x height x width in cm per package) / 6.000 = dimensional weight in kg
Compliant to the currently applicable rules of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)

* FedEx checks the data provided by the sender in the Air Waybills with regard to the services requested and the weight of the packages. Shipping Charges may be assessed based on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) volumetric standard or dimensional weight. Under current IATA standards, dimensional weight, is determined by multiplying a Package's length x height x width (all in centimeters) and dividing the total by 6000. If the result exceeds the actual weight, additional Charges may be assessed based on the dimensional weight. The rates of such additional Charges are available upon request and may be amended, without notice, by FedEx.
We therefore recommend that you always check the dimensional weight of your shipments before giving them to us - especially if you use your own packaging.
