Join us on this exciting journey and let’s grow together with GSI Logistics!
Air Freight Services provided by GSI Logistics ensure rapid global delivery for both household and commercial shipments. Using air freight, your cargo can reach any destination worldwide within days. This mode of transport requires formal customs clearance processes at both origin and destination, necessitating booking through IATA-approved Freight Forwarding Agents. It’s crucial to adhere to IATA guidelines for handling various cargo types, including batteries, which require special approvals and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Consolidation Air Freight involves Freight Forwarding companies consolidating multiple shipments from different origins to a common destination. This strategic approach helps secure competitive rates from airlines, benefiting clients with regular air freight needs.
Express Air Freight offers expedited delivery options for urgent shipments. It guarantees immediate connections and timely delivery, making it ideal for critical cargo where deadlines are paramount. Despite being 50% to 100% higher than standard rates, Express Air Freight ensures reliability and speed.
Air Freight involves commercial shipments requiring proper documentation like commercial invoices, descriptions of goods, and HS Codes. Customs clearance for Air Freight follows formal procedures. Courier shipments, in contrast, typically include non-commercial items such as trade samples or personal gifts with smaller quantities and values, often bypassing commercial shipment requirements.
To calculate Volume Weight for air freight, dimensions in centimeters are multiplied by (L x B x H / 6000) x number of packages, or in inches by (L x B x H / 366) x number of packages. Volume Weight can also be converted to cubic meters (CBM) using the formula CBM = (Volume Weight / 167 kgs).
Air Freight is recommended over Sea Freight for smaller cargo sizes or urgent shipments due to faster delivery times. While Air Freight costs are typically higher (about three times more) than Ocean Freight, for smaller shipments where cost calculations are comparable or lower, Air Freight becomes the more cost-effective choice. GSI Logistics advises clients on the best transport mode based on their specific needs to save time and money.
MAWB (Master Airway Bill) is issued by the master carrier, facilitating transport between agents. HAWB (House Airway Bill) reflects the actual shipper and consignee details and is issued by agents or consolidators, ensuring accurate documentation and tracking throughout the shipment process.
Importing via Air Freight involves preparing a proper Commercial Invoice and Packing List, requesting a written quotation from a Freight Forwarder agency, providing clear shipping instructions and Power of Attorney to the agent, and booking the consignment with carriers through an IATA-approved agent. This agent handles customs procedures and ensures compliance with carrier regulations and legal requirements.
Comparing transit times among airlines is crucial for ensuring timely delivery. Direct flights often have shorter transit times compared to indirect routes. GSI Logistics advises clients to communicate clear deadlines to their agents to select the best routing, aligning freight costs with delivery expectations for events or productions.
Shipping Dangerous Goods via Air Freight requires having a UN Code and MSDS certificate for the DG cargo, adhering to IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), and ensuring only certified individuals complete the Dangerous Goods Declaration and book cargo with airlines. Compliance with safety regulations and airline guidelines is paramount.
Perishable cargo, such as refrigerated goods, can be booked with airlines that have specialized facilities at major airports. These cargoes require specific temperature control and must be specified during booking and clearance processes to maintain quality and safety standards.
Freight Forwarding Agents act as authorized representatives to book air cargo with airlines, ensuring adherence to IATA, customs, and airport regulations. They play a vital role in understanding customer requirements, planning shipments, and representing clients in dealings with airlines, customs, and airport authorities.
Aircraft are designed solely for transporting air freight, offering varied capacities suitable for large volume shipments. Passenger Aircraft, in contrast, primarily transport passengers but also carry cargo such as baggage and courier shipments, often with more frequent flights and options for express or general cargo services.
If the cargo has low value or consists only of commercial samples, GSI Logistics recommends using Courier mode instead of air freight for faster and more cost-effective delivery options.
Yes, travelers can opt for air freight to transport excess baggage when moving abroad. They need to submit a baggage declaration through their freight forwarder. While it may not be on the same flight as the traveler, they can claim their cargo from the final destination airline office after completing customs clearance.
