Personal Goods With International
Air Freight
Personal goods relate to a range of shipment from a single gift item
to the entire unaccompanied baggage involved in a transfer of residence.
Sky2C has developed a unique reputation for efficient, timely, and
cost-effective solutions for moving personal goods. The following
tips will assist you in ensuring a safe and trouble free transportation
of your goods to their desired location.
The cost of international air shipping depends upon:-
- Point of origin and destination
- How soon you want you goods at destination
- Specific Airline Choice
- Size of individual box/pallet/crate
- Gross weight. The chargeable gross weight is the higher of the actual
weight (from scale) and volume weight; the volume weight is determined
by Length x Width x Height (in inches) divided by 366 (in Kgs)
- Subject to availability, goods can be loaded into airline containers.
Restrictions on dimension weight weight per individual piece. Most
airlines can carry a piece of upto 1587 Kgs (3500 lbs) with dimension
for each side not exceeding 62"(H) x 88" (W) x 102"
(L)
Clients are always Billed on the Final
Chargeable Weight
Tips
In most of the cases, It is highly recommended to ship your goods via
Air, when
- You have less than 100 kgs/220 lbs (cubic or gross weight)
- You need shipment urgently
- Destination is not a Sea Port but an Inland Point
Procedure At Destination
When shipment arrives at destination, you are intimated by airlines
office about the arrival of shipment and you can approach their office
to proceed for claiming your shipment. There might be some terminal
charges and airlines handling fee payable at destination airport. This
fee can vary depending upon weight but normally should be approx US$25.
Beside this you have to get your shipment cleared through customs and
arrange transportation from airport to your door. In process of clearance,
any duties or taxes payable at destination shall be paid as per applicable
tariff of the country where goods are imported.
If you have not been quoted for destination services, feel free to
ask your sales representative at sky2c for a complete package of destination
services.
Requirement
If you are packing/marking/preparing list of contents-
- Each box/carton must be properly packed & marked with number,
your name & destination address before you hand over to us.
- We must get a packing list from you stating what is there in each
carton and if you are buying insurance, we will require you to breakdown
value for each item in the box. You don't have to be detail about
listing items. For example if you have books, you can simply state
BOOKS. If you have tools, just specify TOOLS. But value must be mentioned
separately for Books as well Tools even though they are packed in
same box.
- Suitcases are allowed but we prefer to move them in boxes. If possible,
kindly pack them in cartons or if there is no choice than make sure
that there is no Fragile stuff in Suitcases.
Important Notice
Shippers who are exporting/shipping their personal goods, can't be qualified
as known shippers. This delays their cargo by 2-7 days due to security
screening. Airlines/customs/sky2c have full authority to detect any
restricted articles/harmful contents and ensure safety.
