Singapore Airlines Cargo (SQ) uses a volumetric factor of 6,000 to calculate dimensional weight. The formula is:
Volumetric Weight (kg) = (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 6,000
Chargeable Weight = MAX(Actual Gross Weight, Volumetric Weight)Singapore Airlines Cargo follows the IATA standard volumetric factor of 6,000, meaning 1 cubic metre (1,000,000 cm³) of cargo is treated as 166.67 kg of chargeable weight. If your shipment weighs less than this, you will be charged on volume.
Always verify the exact rate basis with Singapore Airlines Cargo or your freight forwarder before booking, as surcharges, fuel levies, and lane-specific tariffs may apply on top of the base chargeable weight rate.
