Cargoivo Editorial Policy
Cargoivo publishes practical shipping education alongside calculators. Our editorial standard is to explain assumptions, show the math, and avoid presenting planning estimates as carrier quotes or engineering approval.
Original, practical content
Guides are written around real calculation and packaging questions: how to measure a carton, why two dimensional-weight divisors produce different results, how pallet orientation changes case count, and why container CBM is not the same as usable loading space.
We prioritize worked examples and decision context over repeating carrier marketing copy. Calculator formulas and examples are cross-checked against independent arithmetic before publication.
Carrier names and published rules
Carrier and equipment names may appear for educational comparison. Cargoivo is independent and is not endorsed by those companies. Divisors, thresholds, surcharges, container specifications, and service rules can change, so a guide must not imply that a planning preset overrides current official terms.
Corrections and updates
When a calculation, example, or explanation is found to be inaccurate, we correct the page rather than preserving a known error. Material guide reviews update the page's reviewed date. Stable mathematical relationships are distinguished from time-sensitive commercial rules.
Scope
Cargoivo provides educational information and planning estimates. It is not a freight forwarder, carrier, customs broker, packaging engineer, safety authority, or legal adviser. Users should verify bookings, dangerous-goods requirements, load restraint, equipment limits, and commercial rates with the responsible provider or qualified professional.
Testing standard
Our calculator verification process is described in How We Test Cargoivo, with reproducible examples available in the Cargoivo Lab.
