Air Freight Services

Air freight services are the fastest and most efficient way to ship your goods. Most air freight services are based on scheduled departure and transit times. International air freight service providers should be familiar with the imports laws and regulations of each country that they ship to and have an experienced customer service team to answer all of our shipping questions.

Fees
General airport-to-airport air freight services are priced based on the weight and dimensions of the items that you are sending, as well as the distance that the shipment needs to travel. Air freight services can also be customized to include air cargo insurance, brokerage services, packing, warehousing and the preparation of the international shipping documentation. Special handling shipments, such as live animals, perishables and hazardous material will be priced differently. In addition to the shipping services the person/company you are shipping to will always be responsible to pay for the local customs duties, unless the shipment is exempt from duties.

When you choose your air freight services, it is recommended to work with a company who specializes in air freight services to the country you are shipping to. Most reputable air freight services companies have local offices that can assist with handling the customs documentation for international shipments to avoid unexpected costs. For example, if you are shipping to Mexico, you need an international freight service that has experience with the customs routines in that particular county.

Insurance
With all of your international shipments, you will be given the option of purchasing insurance on your items. Even though the air freight services that you have chosen are reliable, you will definitely want to have insurance on your products. No matter how reliable the company is you choose, there is always a slim chance that your packages may get damaged during the loading or off-loading of the aircraft, insurance is a must have.

Choose an insurance coverage that will pay you more than just the value of the shipment, after all, you are still liable for the transportation charges. Some insurance policies cover up to 120% of the value of your shipment.
