FedEx Rates

For FedEx International Priority^® & FedEx International First^®, rates are based on the total weight of all packages in one shipment using one air waybill. Any fraction of a kilogram takes the next higher weight.

As of 18 January 2010, shipments where dimensional weight exceeds actual weight are charged according to the following volumetric calculation:

Dimensional weight in kg per package = Length x Height x Width in cm / 5,000.

This dimensional weight calculation for FedEx Express® services applies to Europe, Middle-East, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent (EMEA), EMEA export and EMEA import shipments.

A flat rate applies up to 10 kg and 25 kg for FedEx® 10kg Box and FedEx® 25kg Box respectively. An increment for each additional kilogram is then added.

FedEx International Priority^®:

• Maximum 274 cm in length (always the longest side)
• Maximum 330 cm in length and girth combined. Girth = (2 x height) + (2 x width)

Any package exceeding these standard measures is automatically considered as FedEx International Priority^® Freight and billed accordingly.

Dimensions are limited depending on the service used. Click here for more information on our services and dimensions.

• FedEx^® Envelope / FedEx® Pak: US$ 100
• FedEx^® Box / FedEx^® Tube / and other packaging: US$ 50,000
