CBM stands for Cubic Meter, a standard unit of volume commonly used in shipping and logistics. One cubic meter equals the volume of a space measuring 1 meter in length × 1 meter in width × 1 meter in height.
Logistics providers use cubic meter to calculate the chargeable volume of cargo, especially for LCL (Less than Container Load) and air freight shipments. Carriers apply CBM measurements to determine shipping costs when they base pricing on volume instead of actual weight.
