Method and assumptions
CBM describes shipment volume in cubic metres. Enter outer carton dimensions, not product dimensions, and include every carton in the shipment.
CBM = carton length in metres × width × height × carton quantity. Container utilization compares total CBM with a selected reference capacity.
Common questions
Is container capacity exactly 33 or 67 CBM?
No. These are planning references. Usable capacity depends on internal dimensions, carton shape, loading method and weight limits.
Does CBM determine the freight quote?
It is one input. Freight may also use chargeable weight, minimum charges, route, commodity and surcharges.
