Freight & Logistics Calculators
Freight maths before the carrier does it for you. The India import duty calculator works out Basic Customs Duty, SWS and IGST by HS code, with free trade agreement rates and the landed cost. For shipping, the freight class calculator finds the NMFC density class, the CBM calculator gives cubic metres and how many cartons fit in a 20 ft or 40 ft container, and the dimensional weight calculator shows the billable weight parcel carriers will charge. The DIM weight comparison ranks UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Canada Post, Australia Post and air, road and sea freight on the same box, with the 2026 divisors, rounding rules and surcharge minimums, and there are pages for common box sizes and carrier match-ups.
