If you need to import or export a lot of items, calculating the freight density, aside from the weight is necessary.

​

Freight density is the weight of your shipment when it comes to size. For example, a huge box of clothing has low freight density as opposed to a smaller box with bathroom floor tiles which obviously has high freight density. ​

​

Freight forwarders in Perth normally ask about your freight density prior to the preparation of a price quote.

​

A simple measuring tape and a weighing scale will make your task of determining the freight density a lot easier.

​

Measure the dimension of your box or package -- the length, height, and width. To get the volume of your shipment, multiply the three figures you got. Then weigh your freight and divide the figure you got with the volume of your package. This is how you calculate your freight density.

​

If you are not sure of any of the figures you have calculated, it is wise to contact a trusted freight forwarding company in Perth.

​

The company can provide you with assistance about the best and most cost-effective method to ship your package.
