40.00.2A. Explanation of Standard Item Charges and Volume Discounts
*Standard volume calculation: Length x Width x Height in cm / 6000 = Volumetric Weight
*Volumetric standard calculation: Length x Width x Height in inches / 150 = Volumetric Weight
*The freight calculation is based on the actual weight or the volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
Example 1: Calculation Explanation for Tax Included TLJ Route Charges
*Actual weight of the package: 5 kgs
*Calculation of volumetric weight: (Length x Width x Height in inches) divided by (5000)
(40 x 30 x 20) divided by 6000 = 4 kgs
Therefore, calculated based on actual weight, package 5 kgs = first weight 176 1kg+ additional weight (88/0.5kg x 8））= 880
176 1kg+ additional weight (88/0.5kg x 8））= 8802B. Important Notes for Oversized Packages, Excluding Tax Included TLA Route:

Attention:
1. When selecting package consolidation, we may merge or decide not to unpack packages. If there's excessive space inside the package, to prevent damage from shaking, we might resize the box during handling. We may also replace the original box for export, but our staff have the authority to determine that the original box cannot withstand the load and replace it without additional charges.
2. To minimize issues during customs clearance, we reserve the right to inspect your goods by opening the box.
3. After multiple packages are consolidated, there may be differences in weight. If the local consolidation warehouse has completed packing and organizing, we will no longer verify the packages' dimensions (length, width, height, and weight). However, you can request customer service to recheck the weight and dimensions in Taipei Warehouse, and no fees will be charged. We do not accept complaints after you receive the packages.

For packages delivered to Taiwan (TPE Warehouse), if you discover damage upon receipt, please record the unpacking with video, keep the original box, and contact the delivery company directly or request a claim from other logistics companies within 48 hours.
