How to calculate the international courier shipment weight?

If you are shipping a large but light shipment that the volumetric weight exceeds the actual (scale) weight, the cost of the shipment is based on the space it occupies on the aircraft. It is an IATA standard method.  Calculation method of volumetric weight by international express: length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 5000

The volumetric weight and actual weight, whichever is greater, is calculated as the weight of courier freight costs.
For example: The measurement of a carton is 50CM * 60CM * 70CM, its volumetric weight is 50CM * 60CM * 70CM / 5000 = 42KG, and the physical weight weight of the scale is 30KG. So the shipping weight is calculated as 42KG.
