International Air Transport Knowledge (1)
Due to the long distance of international transportation, urgent express or valuable items are usually transported by international air, which can greatly shorten the transportation time. However, air logistics has more stringent requirements, and the cost of air logistics is nearly ten times higher than that of sea transportation. In order to help foreign trade people better operate air transportation, we share with you the relevant knowledge of international air transportation.
International air freight price inquiry is the key factor that should be paid attention to
1. Name of air freight goods (to determine whether they are dangerous goods)
2. Weight and volume of air freight goods (the main reference value for air freight charges)
3. Packaging of air freight goods (including wooden boxes, iron boxes, paper packaging boxes and plastic packaging. If it is a wooden box, pay attention to whether it is with a pallet)
4. Destination airport (whether it is a basic point, whether it is direct or transshipment, which will also cause the fluctuation of air freight costs)
5. Required time for air freight (there is uncertainty in the time interval between direct flights and transshipment flights)
6. Required flights (the price of flights will fluctuate with the booking time and seasonal changes)
7. Bill of lading type (master bill and sub-bill)
8. Required transportation services (international air freight requires customs declaration methods, agency documents, and customs clearance services)

The dealer is responsible for boarding and other things. This part of the fee is finally paid to the airport)
6. Air master bill fee (bill of lading fee - property certificate)
