Why the China to US Shipping Calculator is Accurate
Our calculator uses the latest data on shipping rates from trusted providers like DHL and FedEx. By combining volumetric weight calculations with region-specific rates, we ensure precise estimates. Additionally, our backend formula reflects real-world costs based on weight, dimensions, and shipping method.
How the Calculator Works
- Input Parsing: The tool accepts weight and dimensions to compute the volumetric weight using the formula: Volumetric Weight (kg)=fractextLength×Width×Height5000\text{Volumetric Weight (kg)} = \\frac{\\text{Length × Width × Height}}{5000}Volumetric Weight (kg)=fractextLength×Width×Height5000
- Chargeable Weight: It determines whether actual or volumetric weight is higher and uses the greater value.
- Cost Computation: Using pre-defined rates and speed multipliers, the tool calculates the shipping cost as: Cost=textChargeableWeight×Rate×SpeedMultiplier\text{Cost} = \\text{Chargeable Weight × Rate × Speed Multiplier}Cost=textChargeableWeight×Rate×SpeedMultiplier
