We have no direct flight data for CMB to GRU this week. Cargo on such pairs usually connects through a hub, which adds a day or more to the transit time.
Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000).
