2. The Charges on Air Freight
The charges on air freight are determined either by weight or weight plus volume-that is, by the size of the pieces in the shipment.
Generally, a certain number of cubic inches is considered the equivalent of a pound of weight.（例如6000立方厘米折合一公斤）
With freight, the airline can also accept payment on delivery（到付运费）.
In regard to international shipment some countries do not permit any shipment except those that have been prepaid（预付运费）, no matter who the shipper is.
