HOW WOULD I BE
BILLED FOR MY AIR CARGO?
Our
billing method is based on either the actual weightor the dimensional/volume (Dim)weight of your air cargo; whichever is greater. Dim weight is for the space your cargo
occupies. Dim weight billing is mostly for items that are very light and bulky e.g. baby car seats, car bumpers etc. Dim weight is calculated using this method (Length x Width x Height
(ALL IN NCHES) divided by 139). Please request for our rates from sales@citizensglobalcargo.net

minimum weight for air cargo from the USA to Nigeria is 20LBS/9KG. We have a different minimum weight for other countries other than Nigeria.
