Once you know the total volume of your cargo, you can choose the most suitable container for it. If the volume of your goods is small\u2014meaning less than the capacity of the smallest container type\u2014you will need to opt for <strong data-start=\"631\" data-end=\"665\">LCL (Less Than Container Load)<\/strong> shipping. In LCL shipments, you are charged based on the volume of your goods in CBM. For example, a clearance company may charge USD 100 per CBM. By using a <strong data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"850\">Cubic Meter Calculator<\/strong>, also known as a <strong data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"886\">CBM Calculator<\/strong>, you can easily calculate the total shipping cost of your cargo.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\">\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"079cddf4-83cf-4ed4-b829-26dea9e44ece\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-2\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"6f881b62-375c-4961-9607-7b420a3e4c87\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<h3 data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"982\">How to Calculate CBM<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1240\">With the growth of international trade, importers, exporters, and shipping and clearance companies constantly need to calculate CBM and understand how it is determined. For this reason, we have provided an easy and fast calculation method on our website.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1529\">First, select the appropriate unit of measurement, whether <strong data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1316\">centimeters<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1330\">inches<\/strong>. Then enter the <strong data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1357\">length<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1368\">width<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1384\">height<\/strong> of the carton. Finally, enter the <strong data-start=\"1419\" data-end=\"1431\">quantity<\/strong> (number of cartons). The system will then calculate the total cubic meters (CBM) of your goods.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1820\">Based on the result, you will know whether your shipment requires a full container or whether partial shipping is sufficient. If the cargo volume is large, you may need a large container or even two smaller containers. Below are the most commonly used container sizes in maritime shipping.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1825\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"1855\">Shipping Container Sizes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"TyagGW_tableContainer\">\n<div class=\"group TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"2015\">\n<thead data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1886\">\n<tr data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1886\">\n<th class=\"\" data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1874\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Container Size<\/th>\n<th class=\"\" data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"1886\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Capacity<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2015\">\n<tr data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"1934\">\n<td data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"1924\" data-col-size=\"sm\">20 ft<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1934\" data-col-size=\"sm\">33 CBM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1955\">\n<td data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1943\" data-col-size=\"sm\">40 ft<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1955\" data-col-size=\"sm\">67.3 CBM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"1956\" data-end=\"1984\">\n<td data-start=\"1956\" data-end=\"1974\" data-col-size=\"sm\">40 ft High Cube<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"1984\" data-col-size=\"sm\">76 CBM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2015\">\n<td data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2003\" data-col-size=\"sm\">45 ft High Cube<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2015\" data-col-size=\"sm\">85.7 CBM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2410\">For example, when calculating the capacity of a 40-foot container in CBM, we refer to the table above and find that a standard 40-foot container has a capacity of <strong data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2192\">67.3 CBM<\/strong>. There are also taller containers known as <strong data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2249\">High Cube<\/strong> containers, which have a greater height than standard containers. A 40-foot High Cube container can accommodate approximately <strong data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2386\">76 CBM<\/strong>, as shown in the table.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2415\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2417\" data-end=\"2438\">Practical Example<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2440\" data-end=\"2630\">Here is a practical example of how to calculate CBM for shipping.

Each carton measures <strong data-start=\"2709\" data-end=\"2766\">50 cm in length, 100 cm in width, and 50 cm in height<\/strong>. You enter these carton dimensions into the calculator on this page, then input the quantity and click <strong data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"2883\">Calculate<\/strong>. The result will be <strong data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"2914\">30 CBM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"3173\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">By referring to the container capacity table, we see that a <strong data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3000\">20-foot container<\/strong> can hold <strong data-start=\"3010\" data-end=\"3020\">33 CBM<\/strong>. Therefore, all cartons can be shipped in a single 20-foot container, with <strong data-start=\"3096\" data-end=\"3124\">3 CBM of remaining space<\/strong>, which can be used to add more goods if desired.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] CBM stands for Cubic Meter (the cubic meter).
