Carriage Chargeable Weight :
What does this term stand for?
Carriage Chargeable Weight is the weight figure used by freight carriers to calculate shipping charges for a consignment. It represents the billable weight rather than the actual physical weight of the shipment. This metric is determined by comparing the shipment’s actual gross weight against its volumetric (dimensional) weight and selecting whichever value is greater. Carriers use this standardized approach to ensure fair pricing that accounts for both the weight and space a shipment occupies in their transport capacity.
