How is volumetric weight calculated?

Volumetric weight is calculated by dividing the package volume by 6000 for EMS/DHL or 8000 for SAL/Sea.

What is billable weight?

Billable weight is the higher of the actual weight or the volumetric weight, rounded up to the nearest 0.5 kg.

Can I use this for DHL shipments?

Yes, you can use `estimate_shipping_cost` to calculate costs for DHL using the appropriate weight metrics.
