Moving Overseas by Air Freight

International Air Freight Movers

Foreign Moving Services

When shifting, most people look at their belongings as fitting in one of several categories. Some things can be shipped ahead, some goods must travel with them, and others can be left behind. For those items that must arrive quickly or on a deadline, air freight can be a great choice.

While convenient and fast, air shipping is generally only used for lightweight items or those that require special handling. The cost of cargo is determined by whichever measure is higher - chargeable load (a measure of volume) or actual mass. The formula for calculating payable mass can be tricky for most people but working with international movers will make it a breeze.

Here is how you calculate your chargeable weight. For each package, you will multiply the LxWxH. This gives you the cubic inches of your package. Then, you will divide this result by 366 to get the payable mass in kilograms. You will need to apply this formula for each individual box and the total of all boxes will be your chargeable load.

Here are some of the rules you must follow for air freight.

• Packages for air transport cannot weigh more than 100 lbs.
• The LxWxH for each package cannot exceed 90 inches.
• Do not pack fluids with your cargo.
• No perishable or hazardous materials may be included.
• Detailed inventory is required for each box.
• You must include interaction information on each individual box.
• Any airline seals applied to your goods must remain intact until they arrive for inspection.

For your next overseas move, land and ocean transport can take weeks. Air cargo is significantly faster, taking a week at the most, and even faster if you fly with it.

Air freight is not always a perfect solution, but there are things you can do to prepare your shipment to arrive safely. At the individual box level, you should pack your items with care, not overstuffing your boxes or leaving fragile things unwrapped. Many shipping service shipments are secured on pallets, but a pallet can only do so much. How you pack your goods into your individual boxes is the best indicator of success or failure.

Other shipment items are packed into Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes, or CFBs. These heavy-duty cartons are designed to withstand weight and abuse as long as they remain dry. Wood crates are another popular option.
