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. 

The service of the international express is door to door?

Yes, it is a door-to-door delivery service but the duties and taxes are not included. 
Dhl, Fedex, Ups, Tnt, Ems, Aramex helps the consignee do the customs processing at the destination, it does not mean that it guarantees that the cargo will be released 100%. 

If the customs of destination requires to additional clearance documents, DHL, FEDEX, UPS, TNT and ARAMEX will contact the consignee requesting the appropriate documents and then process the customs clearance. Once the cargo is released from customs, they will deliver the goods to your address.

Who is responsible for paying duties when shipping via courier Dhl, Fedex, Ups o Ems ?

The payment of import duties and taxes is the responsibility of the consignee, the calculation of duties depends on the product's customs code, the value of the invoice, the country of origin and customs of the destination country.

Do you have the minimum weight of international courier?

We recommend every shipment more than 21KG for the following 2 reasons: 

1. For international shipments of courier from China to other countries with the weight less than 21KG, the freight of each kilo is higher than the value of the goods.  2. A shipment less than 21KG is considered small parcel. The freight is not calculated per kilo, it is charged according to a price of the first 0.5KG, another price for the continuous every 0.5KG. Once the weight of the merchandise is changed, it makes it difficult for the customer to automatically calculate the shipping costs.
