(in IN) and divide by 366 for pounds

IN) and divide by 366 for pounds
Ocean LCL/FCL

1,000,000.
1. Routing Guidelines
The following guidelines are for shipments where a mode of transport has not been
designated. Any exceptions must be discussed with your Invacare Purchasing contact.
** Chargeable Weight – international shipments are charged based on their actual
weight (high density goods) or based on the space the shipment takes up on their
designated mode of transport. Below is guidance on how to calculate chargeable
weight in kilograms as this is required to be factored into the calculation in determining
the most economical means of transport. Note – Some carriers will have variations to
the below formulas.
2. Routing Requirements – Parcel (1-45 Kgs)
Our preferred carrier is FedEx. For shipments moving via parcel, your Invacare Purchasing
contact will provide you with the correct account number to invoice freight/duties and taxes.
3. Routing Requirements – Heavy Weight Air (Over 45 Kgs)
You Invacare Purchasing Contact will advise who to use when an air shipment (other than
Parcel) is required.
