To get the dim weight for a DHL export, use inches and pounds:
- Multiply the length, width, and height of the package in inches.
- Divide that total by 139 (the standard divisor for express carriers on international shipments).
- Round up to the next whole number, and you have the dim weight in pounds.
What is dimensional weight for DHL?
Volumetric Weight Calculator
Volumetric weight, sometimes called "dim" or dimensional weight, is used when the space a shipment takes on an aircraft may cost more than the shipment's actual weight.
Does DHL charge dimensional weight?
Charges on your invoice will be based on the greater of the two: total actual weight versus total dimensional weight. Please note: Domestic shipments under 1 cubic foot and/or under 1 pound are not subject to Chargeable Weight rules, and are invoiced based on the actual weight.
