What does this cover?
Weight and Volume Measurement is delivered as part of a confirmed shipping scope, with the responsibilities and charges stated in the quotation.
Measurement records the actual weight and volume of the packed cargo, and it is what the freight is billed on: air divides cubic centimetres by 6,000 and courier networks by 5,000, so measured volume can matter more than weight. Where the measurement differs from the supplier’s figures the quotation is reconfirmed before dispatch.

A buyer purchasing from eight Chinese suppliers needed one coordinated shipment instead of eight separate dispatches, with a single set of documents and one delivered scope.

Read guide →The final charge is confirmed after the cargo reaches the warehouse and is weighed and measured. If the actual data matches the inquiry the quoted price stands; if it differs, the charge is recalculated for your approval before payment and dispatch.
Cargo is measured and checked after warehouse arrival. If pieces, weight, volume, packing, commodity or delivery address differ from the original inquiry, the charge is recalculated and sent to you for confirmation before payment and dispatch.
Each quotation states its own validity period, because freight rates and space move with the market. Once it expires, or if the rate or space changes before booking, the price is reconfirmed before dispatch.
Ocean rates generally hold for a shorter period than air or courier rates, and peak season or a general rate increase can shorten that window further. Cargo that has already been received and measured is recalculated against the actual data, and you approve the final charge before payment and dispatch.
The standard sequence is: cargo arrives and is measured, the final charge is confirmed with you, you approve and pay, and then the shipment is dispatched.
Cargo is received and measured first, so the charge you approve is based on actual data rather than a declaration. Credit terms, monthly settlement or staged payment can be discussed for established and project customers, and every payment is recorded against a company order.
