How It's Calculated

For each carton type: volume = length × width × height (converted to cubic meters). Total CBM = sum of each type's volume × quantity.

Real Example

Example: 50 cartons of 40×30×25 cm → unit volume 0.03 m³, total CBM = 0.03 × 50 = 1.5 m³.

Notes & Limitations

The shipping mode suggestion is a rough guide — check your freight forwarder's current LCL/FCL thresholds for the final call.
