When it comes to importing and exporting goods, there are various methods available, such as air freight, sea freight, road transport, and others. Today, we will focus on Air Courier, explaining what it is, what type of goods it is suitable for, and why it could be a great option for those looking to ship goods abroad.

What is Air Courier Shipping?

Air Courier is a shipping method that delivers goods internationally using door-to-door service. It is handled by leading global courier companies like TNT, FEDEX, UPS, and DHL. The shipping process does not include any import taxes at the destination country (if applicable), as this depends on the import tax regulations of the destination country. The shipping company picks up the goods and delivers them directly to the destination. The sender only needs to prepare the goods and provide documents detailing the items and their value (Invoice / Packing List). However, if the value of the exported goods exceeds 500,000 Baht, the sender is required to register with Thai Customs and complete the export customs clearance procedure.

What Type of Products is Air Courier Suitable For?

Air Courier is ideal for general goods that are not dangerous or require temperature control during transport.

How Long Does Air Courier Shipping Take?

Air Courier shipping times typically range from 1-5 days for destinations in Asia, and 5-14 days for destinations in the Americas and Europe. However, the delivery time can vary depending on the customs procedures at the destination country and other factors, such as when goods are randomly selected for customs inspection. Additional documents may be requested, or if the goods are prohibited or not allowed for import in the destination country, they may be returned or destroyed according to the regulations of that country. This could cause a delay in delivery.

How is Air Courier Pricing Calculated?

The shipping cost can be calculated by comparing two methods: - Actual Weight in kilograms (kg) - Dimensional Weight, calculated based on the size of the box. The formula is: Width x Length x Height (cm) / 5,000 The higher value between actual weight and dimensional weight will be used to calculate the shipping cost.

Conclusion

Air Courier is a convenient and fast air shipping method that delivers goods directly to the recipient's door. It provides both senders and receivers with ease and efficiency, making it an ideal option for those looking to export or import goods.
