How is air freight priced?
Air freight is charged on chargeable weight: the greater of the actual weight and the volume weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000). Use our calculator to check your shipment.
Are there goods you cannot ship?
Some items are restricted or prohibited, including certain chemicals, loose lithium batteries, weapons and counterfeit goods. Many hazardous goods can travel with the correct classification and packaging. Ask us before booking if you are unsure.
Can my shipment be insured?
Yes. Carrier liability is limited by international conventions, so we recommend cargo insurance for valuable goods. We arrange cover based on the invoice value.
