What is the current ratio above which international air cargo is subjected to a cubic chargeable weight?

The correct answer pertains to the standard measurement of chargeable weight for international air cargo, which is essential for determining shipping costs. Chargeable weight is calculated based on either the actual weight of the cargo or its volumetric weight, whichever is greater. The volumetric weight is determined by the volume of the cargo and a specific divisor.

In this context, the divisor of 6,000 cubic centimeters per kilogram is the standard used for air cargo. This means that if the volume of a shipment, when calculated using this divisor, yields a weight greater than the actual weight of the cargo, then the chargeable weight will be based on this volumetric calculation.

For instance, if a shipment occupies 12,000 cubic centimeters, dividing this volume by 6,000 would give a volumetric weight of 2 kilograms. If the actual weight of the cargo is 1.5 kilograms, the air freight charge will be based on the 2 kilograms (the higher of the two weights).

The other options present different divisors which are not applicable in standard international air cargo operations for the calculation of volumetric weight. These differences in divisor values are crucial as they directly affect how charges are computed for shipping, emphasizing why the specific figure of 6
