Volumetric weight (VW) calculation rule.

Volumetric weight (VW) calculation rule.

According to the rules of air transport, DPD applies a tax based on the weight/volume ratio. The volumetric weight is compared to the actual weight of the shipment. For invoicing purposes, the higher of the volumetric weight and the actual weight of the parcel will be used.According to the rules of air transport, DPD applies a tax based on the weight/volume ratio.
