Volumetric weight is a key concept in the shipping industry, particularly for air freight. This calculation determines the weight of a package based on its dimensions rather than its actual weight, accommodating packages that are large but light and take up significant space on the plane.

To calculate the volumetric weight in centimeters, multiply the width, length, and height of the package, then divide by 6000.

If the volumetric weight exceeds the actual weight, the freight cost is based on the volumetric weight. This method ensures fair pricing for air delivery, accounting for the space a package occupies in the aircraft.

Customs duties are mandatory fees charged by the state for transporting goods across the customs border of the Republic of Armenia.

Individuals must pay customs duties when the value of goods for personal use sent via international postal parcels exceeds 200 euros or 31 kg.

According to current regulations:

• If the cargo exceeds the monetary threshold, a customs fee of 15% is charged on the difference between the cargo’s value and the permissible threshold.
• If the cargo exceeds the weight limit, the customs duty is 15% of the cargo’s value or 2 euros per excess kilogram, whichever is higher.
