Practical answers

Frequently asked questions

Which dimensions should I enter for each SKU?

Use the external dimensions of the fully packed shipping carton, not the individual product dimensions.

Which weight unit is used?

Gross weight per carton is entered in kilograms and should include the product, inner packaging, and shipping carton.

Does utilization mean the shipment will definitely fit?

No. Even when total CBM is within the reference volume, mixed carton dimensions can leave unusable gaps.

Can I use this for palletized cargo?

The totals can support early planning, but pallet dimensions, height, load limits, and handling clearance must be included in a separate loading plan.
