As is well known, international air freight is currently the most efficient international logistics method. Let's briefly share the requirements for goods and various precautions for international air freight. Firstly, the packaging requirements for air freight goods are more stringent compared to other types of transportation methods.
Usually, goods that need to be frequently transported must be securely packaged and comply with international transportation standards. When loading and unloading goods, it is often necessary to use palletizing, which is not only convenient for loading and unloading, but also facilitates the fixation of the goods. If the palletized goods are large goods with a single piece exceeding 80kg, it is also necessary to make an appointment with the airport in advance.
The quantity of goods must also be accurate, as the accuracy of the quantity directly affects the effectiveness of the air freight label. Another special aspect to pay attention to is security inspection, where each shipment must be accompanied by a safety certificate and cargo list, especially for special categories of goods. Goods such as chemical products must be accompanied by safety certificates provided by relevant departments, and animal and plant products require quarantine certificates issued by animal and plant quarantine stations.
In order to effectively save shipping costs, it is also important to pay attention to the space utilization of the goods when packaging. Because air transportation is based on the actual weight of the goods, and on the other hand, the larger of the two is used as the billing weight.
