FAQ

Questions about this service

What information is needed before air cargo arrives?+
Share the airway bill, invoice, packing list, product descriptions, origin and any known permits or handling requirements.
Does urgent cargo bypass normal customs requirements?+
No. Urgency affects operational planning, not the applicable customs, product or authority requirements.
Can mixed products travel under one air shipment?+
They can, but each product still needs a clear description, quantity, value and applicable classification or approval information.
Do temperature-sensitive goods need extra planning?+
They may require additional handling and product documentation. Share those conditions at the start so the clearance scope can be assessed correctly.
