Air Freight
Air Freight Overview:
We also take charge of all requisite documentation for your air freight shipment, encompassing customs and export documents. Our all-inclusive service is designed to ensure the seamless and trouble-free delivery of your shipment to the accurate address.It’s crucial to acknowledge that not all types of cargo are suitable for air transportation. Restrictions exist, such as transporting dangerous goods without the appropriate documentation, and stringent regulations apply to the import of natural products like fruits and herbs. Our team is well-equipped to provide guidance on the feasibility of transporting your specific cargo.
Air freight logistics share similarities with other freight transportation methods. Goods are contained within containers, which incur associated costs and adhere to free time periods. Proper transportation to and from the correct airport terminal, along with the requisite documentation, is imperative.
The primary advantages of air freight lie in its speed and reliability. Typically, cargo reaches its destination within 24 hours of arriving at the airport, making it an ideal choice for time-sensitive and high-value shipments. However, it is essential to note that the cost of air freight can be notably higher than alternative transportation methods due to the elevated expenses associated with high-speed shipping, often necessary for air freight.
Air freight is categorized into general cargo, comprising everyday products, and special cargo, which demands specific handling and precautions due to factors such as weight, dimensions, nature, and value.
The air freight shipping process involves multiple stages, including checking restrictions to ensure compliance with necessary regulations, making bookings and coordinating shipment, preparing the freight for export and ensuring proper packaging, calculating gross weight and shipping costs, delivering the freight, tracking its progress, and facilitating collection. Each type of cargo is subject to specific regulations and rules throughout the shipping process, necessitating adherence to proper marking and labeling, packaging, and handling protocols.
