EXPORTS - AIR FREIGHT

Our partnerships with FedEx and DHL allow us to bring you world class Door-to-door and Door-to-airport services at a much lower cost than you would get if you went to them directly. Air freight is more expensive than road or sea freight, but it is the best option when fast, secure delivery is essential.

Door-to-door

As implied, the cargo is collected and delivered to the physical address at the destination, this is more expensive but preferred by certain customers as it minimises their involvement with customs and physical handling. Freight Innovations takes care of the international delivery (to the destination airport) which includes customs documentation and clearance as well as the domestic delivery leg (final destination). This option is sometimes chosen for larger consignments where special handling is required. Transit times will vary, as a rule of thumb, one week to reach the destination and one week to clear through customs. It completely depends on the country, city, and customs.

Door-to-airport

Freight Innovations arranges for the cargo to arrive at the destined airport, the client on the other end handles the paperwork and clears the shipment at customs. He is then also responsible for the local delivery (final destination). The main difference is the cost as this is a much cheaper option. Transit times will vary, as a rule of thumb, one week to reach the destination and one week to clear through customs. It completely depends on the country, city, and customs.

PACKING

We do offer a crating service at a small additional fee. This is done on-site at our premises and custom-made to ensure the goods arrive intact at the destination. We highly recommend this option if you are nervous to do the packing yourself.

FAQs

What is the maximum size and weight package that can be air freighted?

International air freight exports and imports are serviced by a freighter plane; these are able to accommodate very large shipments. This service is slower than international courier due to constraints.
