Documentation
Prepare consistent shipment information.

Keep names, quantities, weights, values and product descriptions consistent across the commercial documents. Tell us about changes before the shipment is booked.
Freight quotation
Understand what drives the cost.
Air freight typically depends on chargeable weight, which takes account of both gross weight and volume under the carrier’s rules. Route, cargo type, security requirements, capacity and final delivery also affect the offer.
- Ask for the rate validity and cargo assumptions.
- Confirm origin, destination and final-delivery inclusions.
- Review potential storage, waiting or exception charges.
Scheduling
Plan around the complete journey.
Air transit is only one stage. The plan must include cargo acceptance, flight availability, handling, customs and destination delivery. Tell us the real delivery deadline, not only the preferred departure date.
Provide the cargo-ready date and the date the consignee needs the goods. Schedules and prices are confirmed for the specific booking.

Before booking
Common questions, practical answers.
How is air freight different from express?
Air freight and express differ in network, handling and service scope. Compare the total delivery plan, chargeable weight and customs responsibilities for your shipment.
Can battery-powered products fly?
Acceptance depends on the product, battery configuration, documents, packaging and selected service. Submit the details before booking.
Is a flight schedule a delivery guarantee?
No. Airport handling, customs and onward delivery also affect arrival at the consignee. Confirm the service commitments in writing.
