We at Finesse are glad to help you to take all these steps and help to simplify the process. Step one is the determination of the Incoterm and the specification of the scope of the shipment in the freight contract. The abbreviation Incoterms stands for International Commercial Terms, i.e. international trade clauses that traders use when concluding contracts to define the uniform distribution of costs and obligations as well as the transfer of risk. The next step is to book the freight space and organize customs clearance. As already described, air freight is offered either in only cargo aircraft or as additional cargo in passenger aircraft. Another variant of transportation is air freight substitute transport by truck or rail. This alternative is also generally referred to as road feeder service and is implemented on behalf of the airlines. Although the transportation takes place on the ground, the cargo retains the official status of air cargo. As the upstream and downstream stages in the shipping process, ground transports stand in addition. These concern the pre-carriage, i.e. the onward transfer of the goods from the consignor to the airport, and the onward carriage, i.e. the route from the airport to the consignee. These are organized by air freight forwarders on behalf of the consignors and consignees.

How are air freight rates calculated? What you’re shipping, the carrier and airline you use, and the shipment’s chargeable weight affect the rate. The chargeable weight is the gross weight (including the freight, packaging, and pallet) or the volumetric weight — whichever is greater. Volumetric weight is calculated using a formula that divides the cargo’s measurements (LxWxH) by a dimensional weight factor. Typically, larger items that weigh less take up more space than small, heavy items, which is why air cargo carriers use the chargeable weight formula. Access to anywhere in the world Most air freight forwarders have an extensive network of airlines that serve domestic and international locations. So no matter where your customers are, you can get freight to them easily. Multiple delivery options Air shipping offers several delivery options, so you can choose how quickly your cargo arrives: Domestic delivery options Same-day air/next flight out: This is the fastest way to ship by air, outside of charter services. Choose this option to deliver goods on the same day they fly out. Next-day air: Next-day air gets your time-sensitive freight to its destination by the end of the following business day. Second-day air: Second-day air is a good balance of speed and cost, and the freight will arrive by the second business day. Deferred air: This is the most economical shipping option and is optimal for lower priority cargo that can wait to ship until there is space on an aircraft International delivery options Deferred service: This is the standard option for international flights. Freight usually arrives at the destination within 3-5 days. Express service: This is the fastest option for shipping goods globally. While it is more costly, your goods will arrive at the destination airport within 2-3 days.
