It is an international language that is used as the basis for definitions of more than 176 countries or customs unions and 104 countries are signatories to their international convention.

• This system has helped governments develop a precise mechanism for determining duties and taxes on goods.
• Facilitate the process of providing and processing accurate information to investors and researchers.
• All commodities in the HS code are characterized under clear labels, facilitating the import and export process.

The volumetric weight depends on the area occupied by the shipment for its actual weight. The cost of transporting a shipment can be affected by the amount of space it occupies. If the cargo needs more space, a larger value is paid for that space regardless of its actual weight. The shipping value is calculated according to the actual weight and the volumetric weight, and then the larger value among them will be considered.

To calculate the volumetric weight, it is measured: (length x width x height) / division factor 6000 or 4000 according to the method of shipment.
