Common questions about international air freight answered.
Direct air freight flies directly from the origin airport to the destination airport without intermediate stops, offering the fastest transit time (typically 1-3 days). Transit air freight involves one or more intermediate stops at hub airports for transfer or consolidation, which takes longer (3-7 days) but is often more cost-effective due to higher cargo density and optimized routing through major hubs.
Air freight charges are based on the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric (dimensional) weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as Length x Width x Height (cm) / 6000. For example, a shipment measuring 100x80x60cm with an actual weight of 30kg would have a volumetric weight of 80kg, and charges would be based on 80kg. Additional charges may include fuel surcharges, security fees, terminal handling charges, and customs clearance fees.
Yes. Carpamann handles dangerous goods (DG/HAZMAT) air shipments in full compliance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). We manage classification, packaging, labeling, documentation (Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods), and airline coordination. Common DG shipments include lithium batteries, chemicals, paints, adhesives, and flammable materials. Proper classification and documentation are critical to avoid delays or rejections.
Cold chain air freight maintains specific temperature ranges throughout the shipping process, from pickup to final delivery. Products requiring cold chain include pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologics, perishable food items, fresh produce, flowers, and certain chemicals. We provide temperature-controlled packaging, active cooling solutions, real-time temperature monitoring, and priority handling to ensure product integrity.
Direct air freight from China to major destinations: US (2-4 days), Europe (2-3 days), Southeast Asia (1-2 days), Australia (2-4 days). Transit air freight adds 1-3 additional days depending on the hub and routing. Door-to-door delivery including customs clearance may add 1-3 extra days. Time-sensitive shipments should use direct air freight for the fastest possible delivery.
Air freight has a minimum charge weight of 45kg for standard air cargo. For smaller shipments, international express courier services (DHL, UPS, FedEx) are often more cost-effective. For shipments above 100kg, air freight becomes increasingly competitive compared to express services. Our team will recommend the optimal shipping method based on your weight, urgency, and destination.
