Cargo Shipping: Understanding the Different Types of Cargo

Amerijet is a leading provider of cargo shipping services. Since 1979, Amerijet has been helping customers expand their reach by sending their goods to destinations throughout the world. To provide you with the best cargo shipping experience, it’s helpful to know exactly what type of cargo you’ll need transported.

Here are the general categories of cargo:

• General cargo—General cargo includes any basic dry goods that aren’t especially expensive or fragile. Common examples of this include clothing, electronics, household goods, etc.

• Live animals—Amerijet specializes in the highly complex task of shipping animals overseas. Other cargo shipping companies simply don’t have the resources or experience to properly handle this task. Amerijet gives your animals the special attention and care they need to safely and comfortably get to their destination.

• Hazardous materials—Amerijet is one of just a few cargo shipping companies to specialize in air shipping of hazardous materials. Shipping hazardous materials requires compliance with government regulations and specific documentation to be completed. Amerijet has been shipping hazardous materials since 1979, so you can be ensured of a satisfactory experience.

• Perishable goods—For all perishable goods, Amerijet uses innovative techniques for ensuring they arrive at their destination fresh and ready for market. Amerijet routinely ships fish, flowers, fruits, and meats, among other perishable goods.

• Valuables and fragile goods—Trust the delivery of your valuables and fragile items to Amerijet. Our cargo shipping services regularly handle expensive artwork, antiques, sensitive electronic equipment, and more.

• Human remains—Amerijet specializes in the safe and prompt transport of human remains, making this difficult process as easy as possible for you and your family.
