A non-stackable product (on which cargo should not be placed) will be more costly than a boxed product or a boxed product. Cargoes that exceed 160 centimeters in height or 300 centimeters in length will still incur extra costs.

The class in transportation is clearly written in this digit. If not, the airline officer decides whether the cargo is dangerous or not with different criteria. When a cargo is evaluated in the dangerous goods class, its packaging also becomes important and may create extra costs. In addition, an extra cost of at least 50 USD will be incurred due to the acceptance of dangerous goods with the RAC code on the bill of lading, that is, the air cargo bill.
