Air Freight: It is charged in relation to the volume weight, it is calculated for each pound (0.45Kg) of weight that the shipment has, and also the measures of the box are verified to obtain the volume weight. For air cargo the following formula is applied: Multiply the three measurements of your box in inches and then divide by 166. (W x L x H) / 166.
The largest size of your box will always be charged, if it is heavier it will be shipped by weight; if it is more volumetric it will be shipped by volume.
