Air Freight Restrictions

Air freight may be great for getting goods where they need to be in a hurry, but due to the nature of air travel, there are restrictions on the type of goods that can be carried. Here are a few examples of the type of cargo that may face restrictions when sent via air freight:

  • Acids
  • Bleach
  • Batteries
  • Compressed gas
  • Explosives
  • Flammable liquids
  • Ignitable gas
  • Matches/ lighters

If you have goods that need a little extra TLC or need to ship hazardous cargo, our team of experts can help you navigate these restrictions with confidence. We will ensure you have a hassle-free experience and feel secure throughout the shipping process.

Benefits of Air Freight Forwarding

Speed

When you need to move cargo from point A to point B as fast as possible, air freight forwarding can’t be beaten. Speed is the name of the game with air freight and often the biggest reason people opt for it.

Reliability

Speed doesn’t come at the cost of reliability! Air freight is incredibly reliable due to the meticulously organised scheduling of airlines. Teaming up with a trusted air freight forwarder such as Jacanna can help you stay updated with schedules and optimise your supply chain by using planned cargo transportation.

Wide Reaching

If you’re delivering to somewhere further afield, it won’t always be reachable by sea or road transport. In these situations, our relationships with airlines all over the world can help you get your air cargo wherever it needs to go, no matter how remote.

Secure

If you’re worried about potential damage or theft of your cargo, consider plane transport a highly secure solution. This method involves minimal handling, and airports have stringent measures to guarantee safety and security.

Frequently asked questions

If you need to ship your goods internationally and speed is a priority, air freight is the fastest option. However, this method of shipping is generally more expensive than other alternatives. The volumetric ratio determines the cost, meaning that the price is calculated based on both the weight of your cargo and the amount of space it takes up on the aircraft.

There are three ways to ship cargo through air freight: using a unit load device (ULD), palletised shipment, or loose cargo. The dimensions for standard palletised air freight are limited to 2.44m x 3.15m x 1.60m. If your cargo is longer or wider than this, you may still be able to transport it via airfreight, but it will be subject to airline acceptance and require ad hoc pricing.

It’s important to have the right documents when shipping items by air to prevent customs clearance delays. If the freight arrives with incorrect documentation, you may face fees or fines from the destination country’s customs authorities, as well as extended storage charges.

Here’s what you may need for air freight forwarding:

  • Commercial invoice
