For FedEx International Priority^® rates are based on the total weight of all packages in one shipment using one air waybill. Any fraction of a kilogram takes the next higher weight.

As of 18 January 2010, shipments where dimensional weight exceeds actual weight are charged according to the following volumetric calculation:

Dimensional weight in kg per package = Length x Height x Width in cm / 5,000.

This dimensional weight calculation for FedEx Express^® services applies to Europe, Middle-East, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent export and import shipments.

A flat rate applies up to 10 kg and 25 kg for FedEx^® 10kg Box and FedEx^® 25kg Box respectively. An increment for each additional kilogram is then added.

FedEx International Priority^®:

• Maximum 274 cm in length (always the longest side)
• Maximum 330 cm in length and girth combined. Girth = (2 x height) + (2 x width)

Any package exceeding these standard measures is automatically considered as FedEx International Priority^® Freight and billed accordingly.

• FedEx^® Envelope / FedEx^® Pak: US$ 100 per shipment or US$ 9.07 per pound, whichever is greater.
• FedEx^® Box / FedEx^® Tube / and other packaging: US$ 50,000 per shipment.

*Values may vary according to destination. Check our online Transit Times and Coverage guide for the maximum declared value per destination.

Unless the Sender enters a higher Declared Value for Carriage on the (Air) Waybill and pays the required fee, the liability of FedEx is limited to the higher of a) the amount provided by the applicable international convention; b) € 22 per kilogram; or c) US$ 100 per Shipment. FedEx does not provide cargo liability or all-risk insurance but the sender may pay an additional charge for Declared Value for Carriage above these limits. Please contact Customer Service for more information.

Specific items such as artwork, film, antiques, glassware, jewellery, furs, watches, etc. are limited to a maximum declared value for carriage of US$ 1,000 per shipment or US$ 9.07 per US pound, whichever is greater.
