A tariff is a tax imposed by one country on the goods and services imported from another country.

1) 1 meter (mtr) = 3.2808 feet (ft)
= 1,000 millimeters (mm)
= 100 centimeters (cm)
2) 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
3) 1 yard (yd) = 3 ft
4) 1 inch (in) = 2.54 cm
= 25.4 mm
5) 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 mtrs
6) 1 mile (mi) = 1.609 km

​ii. measurement

1) 1 gram (g) = 1,000 milligrams (mg)
1) 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g)
2) 1 Metric Ton (MT) = 1,000 kgs
3) 1 pound (lb) = 0.4536 kg = 16 ounces (oz)

​I. weight

TARIFF CONVERSION FACTORS

1) 1 gallon = 4 quarts
2) 1 quart = 2 pints
3) 1 liter (ltr) = 1,000 milliliters (ml)
= 1,000 cubic centimeters(cc)
= 100 centiliters(cl)
= 10 deciliters (dl)
4) 1 hectoliter = 100 liters
5) 1 barrel (bbl) = 159 liters
6) 1 cubic meter (cbm) = 35.31445 cubic feet (ft3 )
= 1,000 ltrs
7) 1 cubic foot (ft3 ) = 1,728 cubic inches (in3 )
8) 1 cubic yard (yd3 ) = 27 cu. Ft. (ft3 )

​iV. volume

1) 1 gross (gr) = 144 pieces (pcs)
2) 1 dozen (dz) = 12 pcs
3) 1 pair (pr) = 2 pcs

​III. QUANTITY

TARIFF CONVERSION FACTORS

1) If only weight is given & there is no volume: 1 RT = 1 MT
2) If weight & volume are both given;
1 RT = T. MT Vs. T. CBM (whichever is higher)

​VI. REVENUE TON (RT) (by Sea Only)

1) 1 TEU = 1 x 20’ Van
2) 2 TEUs = 1 x 40’ Van

VII.CHARGEABLE WEIGHT (CW) : (For Air Shipments Only)

CW = Actual Gross Weight (AGW) or Volume Weight (VW), whichever is Higher VW Per IATA CARGO TARIFF


1) VW1 = L x W x H (in) /366 in³ /kg = KGS
2) VW2 = L x W x H (cm) / 6,000 cm³ /kg = kgs
3) VW3 = L x W x H (mtr) / 0.006CMB³ = kgs
