For arranging sea freight shipment, there is always a term “CBM” appears in the information or form. Do you know what is a CBM?

CBM – cubic meter is a volume that can be filled by your packed goods in the space limited by 100 cm wide, 100 cm in length and 100 cm in height. Also, this is the volume of a standard pallet.

For example, if the length, height and width of a cargo is 250 cm, 150 cm and 300cm respectively, the volume of cargo is 2.5 m X 1.5m X 3m = 11.25 CBM
