Quick answer01 02 03
Is air freight the right choice?
Air freight is normally considered when ocean transit is too slow or inventory and project deadlines create a higher cost of delay.
Start with the required arrival date, not only the flight time.
Pickup, security screening, export handling, flight availability, destination release and delivery all affect the real door-to-door timeline.

Higher-value cargo
Use a faster movement with a clearly controlled handover and documentation plan.
Split shipment
Move the urgent portion by air and route the remaining volume by sea.

Quote checklist
What we need before quoting
Exact dimensions and cargo classification are especially important for an air-freight quote.
Batteries, liquids, magnetic products and dangerous goods require early review. A generic product name is not enough for airline acceptance.
- Pickup address and ready date
- Pieces, actual weight and dimensions
- Product description and declared value
- Battery, liquid, magnetic or dangerous-goods status
- Destination airport or final delivery address
- Required arrival date, fallback date and cost of delay
How is air freight charged?
Air freight commonly uses chargeable weight, comparing actual and volumetric weight. Route, handling and delivery charges also affect the total.
Can you arrange air freight outside China?
Yes. China is the core origin market, with reviewed origin support from key Asian countries and other locations when the route is available.
Is every product accepted by airlines?
No. Batteries, dangerous goods, liquids, magnets and restricted products require advance review and may need specific packing or documents.
Can only the urgent part move by air?
Yes. A split shipment can move the critical quantity by air while the remaining volume follows by sea, helping protect the deadline without paying air rates for every unit.
