FAQ

FAQs about Air Freight

Direct answers on timing, coverage, and pricing — before you request a quote.

How is volumetric weight calculated for air freight from the USA?

Volumetric weight comes from dimensions and may exceed actual weight; pricing uses the higher of the two under airline rules. We show the math in the quote so you know the cost before you commit to booking.

Can batteries or battery-powered devices ship by air freight?

Batteries face strict airline limits. Disclose type, quantity, and packing early so we confirm acceptance or propose a compliant alternative lane without risking airport refusal.

Is air freight cheaper than door-to-door shipping?

Air freight is the international leg; door-to-door adds U.S. pickup and final door delivery — and sometimes customs. Price differs by service scope, not mode alone, and we compare options clearly for you.

What documents are needed for air freight from the USA?

A commercial invoice, packing list, and air waybill (AWB) are the core, with extras by destination and commodity. We prepare the file for airport and customs requirements to reduce delay risk.

Do you recommend insurance for high-value air freight shipments?

Yes — especially for high-value or time-critical goods. We include an insurance option in the quote on request with clear coverage scope so you can balance cost and protection.
