In foreign trade, there are two ways to calculate billing tons, one is by weight, and the other is by volume. The main factor that determines the calculation method is whether the goods are heavy or light.

For example:

The volume and weight information of the goods is 1CBM, 500KG, so even if the goods are counted as light foam goods, they are also counted as1rt.

If the cargo volume and weight information are 1 CBM and 3500 kgs, then the cargo will be counted as heavy cargo and calculated as 3.5 RT ..

Shipping:1rt =1CBM =1000kgs;

Air transport:1rt =1CBM =167kg.
