The robust growth of cross-border e-commerce in 2020 has seen an increasing frequency of using UPS international express! How is the UPS international express shipping fee calculated? What are the requirements? Today, taking the United States as an example, I will share with you the method for calculating UPS international express fees.
1. Volume Weighted Goods: For packages that are large but lightweight, charges are based on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations, taking the higher of either the volume weight or the actual weight. If there are 2 items, one is calculated based on volume weight and the other based on weight, with the total sum serving as the billing weight. Volume weight calculation: (Length x Width x Height) cm ÷ 5000 = Volume Weight.
2. Fuel surcharge may be updated based on market conditions. Please contact customer service for specific charges.
3. Remote Area Service Fee. Charge applies based on the delivery address; valid for notification within three months.
4. Additional charges apply to irregularly shaped items per package, which may involve reclassification or additional fees based on package size.
5. Items exceeding 269 cm in length, 418 cm in circumference, or 69 kg in weight will be refused.
6. An additional charge will apply for main side lengths exceeding 151 cm, secondary side lengths over 75 cm, or for overweight shipments.
7. Insurance: Service available only to customers with an account, calculated as (Declared Amount - 800) / 800 * 3.2 = Insurance Premium.
Alright, that's the UPS international express shipping rate calculation formula and the method for UPS international express shipping charges. It's roughly like this. Of course, these figures are for reference only, and there may be additional charges. The exact fee will depend on the actual situation.
