At present, the common air freight rates on the market, even to the United States, are mainly divided into two types: calculated by weight and calculated by volume. It is recommended that sellers choose appropriate transportation methods based on the characteristics of the goods, which can save a lot of logistics costs for the enterprise.
The following are two methods for calculating the weight of air freight to the United States:
1. Volume algorithm: A=Unit Basic Freight (MTQ) x Total Volume (CBM)
2. Quantity algorithm: B=Unit Basic Freight (TNE) x Total Gross Weight (KGM)
Volume weight=cubic meter (CBM) x167/KG;
Usually, the minimum shipping volume for FBA air shipments in the United States is from 21KG, and if it is less than 21KG, it will be charged at 21KG.

The FBA packaging from Amazon to all countries is basically standardized:
1. For FBA goods, in order to ensure normal FBA scanning, at least 2 FBA barcode labels (one in the front and one in the back) need to be affixed to each box of the outer box;
2. FBA label stickers are covered with transparent tape (to achieve clear barcode font, moisture resistance, and wear resistance). If the FBA label cannot be recognized and cannot be delivered to Amazon warehouse, the consequences will be borne by the sender
3. The weight of a single piece shall not be less than 10KG, and the weight of a single piece shall not exceed 30Kg.
4. The outer box is regular and sturdy to prevent damage to the goods. Amazon warehouse rejects the goods and causes them to be lost.
5. For the convenience of customs clearance, please affix the words "madeinchina" on the outer box.
6. Refuse to accept irregular, too soft, easily deformed, or damaged or rotten outer box packaging. To ensure the safety of the goods, please try to use high-quality cardboard boxes!

3. To prevent others from being greedy, the description of the goods on the waybill should never include the name of the goods, such as a mobile phone. Write the number of the waybill on the packaging box to avoid confusion between the waybill and the goods.
