Common Questions
Air & Sea Freight FAQs
When should I choose air freight over sea freight?
Air freight is best for urgent, time-sensitive shipments or high-value goods where speed justifies the higher cost. Transit times for air freight are typically 1–5 days depending on destination. Sea freight is more economical for large, heavy, or non-urgent consignments — typically 2–6 weeks depending on origin and destination.
Do you handle customs clearance for international shipments?
Yes. We coordinate full customs clearance for both imports and exports, working with specialist customs brokers to ensure compliance with all import and export regulations. This applies to both air and sea freight.
Can you handle FCL and LCL sea freight?
Yes. We arrange both full container loads (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) shipments, depending on your cargo volume. LCL is ideal for smaller consignments where you don't need a full container, as you only pay for the space your goods occupy.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship globally. Whether you're importing from China, exporting to the USA, shipping to Australia, or moving goods anywhere in between, we can arrange the shipment. Call us with your origin and destination and we'll confirm rates and transit times.
