CBM Calculation Formula : Length X Width X Height / 1,000,000 (centimeters) X Total Numbers of Cartoons e.g. 100 cm X 90 cm X 50 cm = 0.45 CBM Freight Ton  Calculation Formula : 1 Metric Ton= 1000 Kilograms When you have dimensions of boxes first of all convert into Meter 1.5 meter x 1.3 meter x 2.4 meter = 4.68 cbm As mentioned , if the rate is quoted as USD .15/ ton and weight of the package is 1500 kg=1.5 tons,that the freight rate is below. 4.68 cbm x USD 0.15= USD .702 or  1.5 ton x USD 0.15 = USD 0.225 Now the CBM rate is higher, the freight rate of USD 0.702 will apply.
