  Calculation of Volumetric Weight
  1 / Commodity - C1024
           
  
Example
           Dimensions in centimetres  (47 x 41 x 37) 80 pieces

                 47 x 41 x 37 x 80
                -----------------------  = 815 kilograms
                         7000

  Calculation of Volumetric Weight
  2 / Commodity - C1401
 
  Example
             
         Dimensions in centimetres  (100 x 45 x 40) 56 pieces

              100 x 45 x 40 x 56
             -------------------------   = 1440.0 kilograms
                        7000

  Calculation of Volumetric Weight
3 / All Other Cargo
(except C1024 & C1401)
   
  Example
        
         Dimensions in centimetres (60 x 42 x 37) 60 pieces
