Trailer axle rating

If a trailer has tandem axles, each rated at 5200 lbs, does that mean that a GVWR for the trailer of 12,480 is in excess of what the axle capacity is? I know it seems like a dumb question, but these numbers are what is published in a brochure for Colorado 5th wheels. What gives?
