Freight & container calculator for import & export
Compute chargeable weight (Air / Road / Sea LCL / Express), total CBM, a 20' / 40' / 40'HC container suggestion and fill rate — by both volume and payload. Built for freight forwarders, logistics sales & shippers.

- CBM = Length × Width × Height (m) × quantity.
- Air: chargeable wt = max(GW, volume cm³ ÷ 6000). Road ÷ 3000 · Express ÷ 5000.
- Sea LCL: Revenue Ton = max(CBM, tonnes) under the W/M rule (1 R/T = 1 CBM or 1,000 kg).
- Container count = the greater of the volume/floor-area need and the payload need, rounded up.
- Results are indicative for planning — they don't account for dunnage, irregular packages, or carrier-specific rules.
