How Are Air Freight Rates From China to Australia Calculated?
Air freight shipping rates from China to Australia per kg are mainly calculated based on the chargeable weight, which is the higher value between the actual weight and volumetric weight of your shipment.
Air Freight Cost Formula:
- Air Freight Cost = Chargeable Weight (kg) × Air Freight Rate (USD/kg)
- Chargeable Weight = Higher Value Between Actual Weight And Volumetric Weight
Volumetric Weight Formula:
- Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 6000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)
Example:
Your shipment from Shenzhen to Sydney contains 5 cartons:
- Carton size: 60 × 40 × 40 cm
- Quantity: 5 cartons
- Actual weight: 75 kg
Step 1: Calculate volumetric weight
Volumetric Weight = (60 × 40 × 40 × 5) ÷ 6000 = 80 kg
Step 2: Confirm chargeable weight
The actual weight is 75 kg, while the volumetric weight is 80 kg, so the chargeable weight is 80 kg.
Step 3: Calculate Shipping Costs
If the air freight rate is $6/kg:
Air freight cost China to Australia per kg = 80 kg × $6/kg = $480
The estimated air freight cost would be $480 (excluding additional charges such as customs fees, handling fees, or local delivery costs).
What Factors Affect Air Freight Costs From China to Australia?
The air freight cost from China to Australia is affected by several factors, not only the distance between airports. When requesting an air freight quote from China to Australia, airlines and freight forwarders usually consider your cargo details, shipping route, and current market conditions to calculate the final rate.
The main factors include:
Chargeable Weight
Air freight is calculated based on chargeable weight. The higher the actual weight or volumetric weight, the higher the shipping cost will be.
Cargo Size And Dimensions

Shipping Route

Cargo Type
Products requiring special handling, such as batteries, dangerous goods, or fragile items, usually have higher air freight costs. Because these products need additional safety procedures and handling requirements.
Airline Capacity And Market Rates
When airline capacity is limited or demand increases, air freight rates may rise. More available capacity usually means more stable pricing.
Additional Services
The more services you require, such as pickup, repacking, labeling, customs support, or door-to-door delivery, the higher the total shipping cost will be.
