Heres the story, I am importing some goods from china. Now I need to work out how large the container needs to be.

Heres the math:

Each unit is 98x32x60cm, i am bringing in 50 units! I am told total volume for 50 units is 9.5 cubic metres.

I have the choice of a 20ft, 40ft or a 40ft high container.

Can anyone in the import export game shed any light on which size container i will need?

Thanks in advance!

9.5 cu ft is the size of the boot of a Metro.

You could pack the entire contents of yours, your neighbours and your neighbours' neighbours house into a 40 foot container.

we divide by 6000 to get the volume of a shipment (Air freight)

say shipment is 200kgs and dims are
120 x 100 x 80

divide by 6000 = 160kgs

we charge what ever the greater kgs or Volume
