Oversize Package Threshold Checker
Test a parcel against oversize thresholds using the longest side as length and twice the sum of the other sides as girth. Defaults are 108 in length and 165 in length-plus-girth; override them to match your carrier.

When to use Oversize Package Threshold
Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.
- Length (in)
- One package dimension in inches; dimensions are sorted automatically.
- Width (in)
- Second package dimension in inches.
- Height (in)
- Third package dimension in inches.
- Max length
- Maximum single-side length in inches from your carrier tariff.
- Max L+girth
- Maximum length plus girth in inches from your carrier tariff.
How Oversize Package Threshold works
Test a parcel against oversize thresholds using the longest side as length and twice the sum of the other sides as girth. Defaults are 108 in length and 165 in length-plus-girth; override them to match your carrier. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Girth
- Girth, twice the sum of the two shorter sides, in inches.
- L+girth
- Length plus girth in inches.
- Over length
- Whether the longest side alone breaches the limit.
- Over L+girth
- Whether length plus girth breaches the limit.
- Oversize
- Whether the package is oversize under either limit.
Limitations and assumptions
- Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.

- Additional Handling Fee Trigger Checker
Check a rectangular parcel against configurable longest-side, second-longest-side, actual-weight, and length-plus-girth thresholds; packaging and service-specific rules are outside this numeric screen.
- Certificate of Origin FTA Threshold Check
Screen achieved regional value content against an agreement-specific threshold and optional shortfall allowance. Only use the allowance when the applicable rule explicitly permits it in RVC percentage points; this calculation does not establish preferential origin by itself.
- Concealed Damage Window Checker
Check elapsed time against a configurable concealed-damage notice window. Confirm the applicable carrier contract, tariff, bill of lading, and law rather than treating the five-day planning default as a universal deadline.
