In such cases, volumetric charges apply and each unit of 366 cubic inches is charged as one kilogram. To calculate this, the maximum dimensions of the piece should be multiplied together to give a volume in cubic inches. If this is more than the actual weight then the volumetric weight will be the chargeable weight. Where the consignment consists of pieces varying in density, the volumetric calculation will be based on the whole consignment. If metric measurements are used, then 6000 cubic centimeters equal one kilogram.
Full details are available on application.
When a commodity can be classified and shipped under different descriptions at the same qualifying weight, the more specific description must be used, even though a higher charge may result. Your shipping and forwarding agent or Aeroflot Cargo Office will be pleased to advise whether a shipment qualifies for a reduced rate. If it does not, it may be possible to introduce a special rate when regular and substantial shipments are offered. The regulations governing the carriage of Human Remains vary from route to route. Refer all inquiries to Aeroflot or an appointed Cargo Agent.
