*Affects U.S. payers shipping U.S. outbound FedEx International Priority Freight/heavyweight shipments or FedEx International Economy Freight/heavyweight shipments. Applies to a shipment’s actual or dimensional weight. Dimensional weight reflects a package’s density, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. For each shipment, your charge is based on the dimensional weight or actual weight of the package — whichever is greater. FedEx reserves the right to re-weigh and measure each package to verify the actual weight and dimensional weight provided by the sender. If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, the package will be rated based on dimensional weight and subject to additional charges.
