Choose the Right Service for Your Shipment

Transit times are estimates rather than universal guarantees. Confirm the expected schedule for the specific origin, destination, service level, cargo type, and booking date. Door-to-door transit time may include pickup, export processing, airline transportation, customs clearance, and final delivery.
How to Select the Right Air Freight Service
When Delivery Is Urgent: Compare available routes, connection risks, cargo cut-off times, and confirmed capacity.
When Shipment Volume Is High: Evaluate chargeable weight, pallet dimensions, aircraft loading limitations, and whether consolidated or dedicated capacity is more suitable.
When Cargo Requires Special Handling: Confirm documentation, packaging, temperature requirements, and carrier acceptance before dispatch.

Cargo Assessment Before Booking
Weight and Dimensions: Provide gross weight, package count, individual dimensions, pallet dimensions, and total shipment volume to support accurate capacity assessment and quotation.
Packaging and Loading: Confirm packaging integrity, stackability, pallet condition, and loading restrictions before cargo tender. Wooden packaging must meet applicable destination and transport requirements, including ISPM 15 where required.
Export Documentation: Prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, commodity descriptions, and other documents required for the shipment and destination. HS code classification and certificates of origin should be confirmed where applicable.
Dangerous Goods: Cargo containing lithium batteries, chemicals, or other regulated materials requires classification and documentation review, compliant packaging where applicable, and carrier acceptance under the relevant dangerous goods regulations.
Temperature-Sensitive Cargo: Temperature-controlled arrangements depend on the required temperature range, available equipment, route capability, monitoring arrangements, and carrier acceptance. Confirm the service capability before booking.
Oversized and Heavy Cargo: Acceptance depends on individual piece dimensions, gross weight, aircraft type, cargo door clearances, loading equipment, and route restrictions. Obtain written approval before dispatch.

A Structured Process from Quotation to Delivery
Cargo Assessment: Submit the origin, destination, commodity, dimensions, gross weight, cargo-ready date, and special handling requirements.
Quotation and Route Planning: Review available service options, estimated transit times, itemized charges, carrier cut-offs, and applicable exclusions.
Booking and Origin Handling: Confirm shipment details, finalize required documents, arrange pickup if requested, and complete export procedures.
Air Transportation and Tracking: Monitor available shipment milestones, including departure, connecting movements where applicable, and arrival.
Import Clearance and Final Delivery: Coordinate destination customs arrangements and cargo collection. Final delivery is provided according to the agreed service scope and applicable import requirements.
Delivery Planning Considerations
Allow for origin handling, airline cut-off times, flight schedules, customs processing, terminal availability, and destination delivery arrangements. Customs inspections, incomplete documentation, capacity changes, and operational disruptions may affect the final delivery date.

Understand How Air Freight Charges Are Calculated
Air freight is commonly rated using chargeable weight, based on the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight under the applicable carrier or service rules.
Volumetric Weight Formula
Volumetric weight (kg) = Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 6000
The divisor shown is an illustrative calculation basis. The applicable divisor, rounding method, and minimum chargeable weight must be confirmed for the selected carrier and service.
Example Calculation

The final chargeable weight is subject to carrier measurement, applicable rounding rules, and shipment-specific terms.

What Your Air Freight Quotation Should Include

Transportation Charges: Freight rate, applicable fuel and security surcharges, and other carrier charges.
Origin and Destination Fees: Applicable terminal handling, documentation, clearance, storage, and cargo collection charges.
Final Delivery Costs: Pickup, delivery, and special handling charges when included in the requested service.
Clear Commercial Terms: Quotation validity, included services, exclusions, payment terms, and conditions under which additional charges may arise.

DDP - Delivered Duty Paid: The seller generally assumes responsibility for import clearance and applicable import duties and taxes under the agreed delivery arrangement. Confirm the seller's ability to meet destination-country requirements.
DAP - Delivered at Place: The seller arranges delivery to the named destination, while the buyer generally handles import clearance and import duties and taxes.
Air Freight and Other Trade Terms: Select trade terms appropriate to the transport mode and commercial agreement. FOB and CFR are intended for sea and inland waterway transport, not standard air freight shipments.
Importer Responsibilities: Confirm the importer of record, customs broker arrangements, commodity classification, required permits, and applicable taxes before shipment.
Customs clearance services and tax-payment arrangements should be confirmed separately from the air freight booking.

Evaluate Operational Capability Before Booking
Carrier and Route Access: Confirm available airline options, booking arrangements, cargo acceptance conditions, and the ability to support the required route.
Documentation and Compliance: Review the provider's document-handling procedures, applicable licenses, relevant certifications, and responsibility for regulated cargo.
Shipment Visibility: Confirm which tracking milestones, status updates, escalation contacts, and exception-management services are included.
Cargo Insurance: Review available insurance options, insured risks, exclusions, coverage limits, and claim procedures. Insurance availability and coverage should be confirmed before shipment.
Verifiable Experience: Request relevant shipment references, documented case studies, or performance data where available and authorized for disclosure.
