How to Calculate the Cube of Goods
As previously stated, the simplest way to calculate the combination of an item is to calculate the length, width, and height of the item.
So, how to calculate it can be described in the following formula.
Length x Width x Height = CBM
This formula is used to measure cargo volume in CBM (m³) units.
Quoting from the cogoport.com page, the following is an example of how to calculate the combination of goods.
Example of Goods Cubic Calculation
For example, you have a box that is 2 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high. Then the volume is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 m³.
If you have 10 identical boxes in one shipment, you simply multiply the CBM by the total number of boxes to get the total volume, which is 8 x 10 = 80 m³.
If the box sizes are not the same, calculate the CBM for each carton using the same formula and add up the totals.
