What is the girth measurement?
The girth measurement is a size specification that describes the volume. It is calculated as follows:
Length + 2 × Width + 2 × Height
Example: A shipment measuring 60 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm has a girth of 120 cm (= 60 + 2 × 20 + 2 × 10). This measurement is used to calculate the required transport capacity.
