01

Actual weight and volumetric weight

Air freight is charged on the higher of actual and volumetric weight. A common formula is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6,000. Divisors and rounding rules vary by carrier.

02

For urgent and high-value goods

Air freight can suit spare parts, electronics, production materials and time-critical commercial goods. Security screening, dangerous-goods status, batteries and cargo type must be clarified before booking.

  • Pickup at the Chinese factory
  • Export and security documents
  • Import clearance and final delivery

03

Capacity is checked for each shipment

Flight schedules, utilisation and cargo acceptance deadlines affect actual transit time. We provide planning estimates for the specific route, not blanket guarantees.

PRICING & PROCESS

Transport charges: how they are calculated

International freight rates change with route, departure, capacity, fuel and currency. The main transport is therefore quoted at the current daily rate rather than presented as a permanently valid fixed price.
