Air freight questions.

Common questions from forwarders and importers. Anything else, email office@zekix.net.

  1. Q01How fast is air freight from Europe to the USA?

    Standard air freight typically takes 3–7 days door to door. Our Express service can deliver in as little as 24–48 hours, depending on origin and destination.

  2. Q02Do you handle customs clearance for imports?

    Yes. Zekix LLC provides full customs brokerage. We make sure your documentation is in order for smooth entry into the US, and handle duties, taxes and compliance.

  3. Q03Can you ship temperature-controlled goods?

    Yes. We offer passive and active cooling for pharmaceuticals, perishables and other sensitive cargo, keeping the required temperature range throughout the journey.

  4. Q04What information do I need for a quote?

    The origin and destination addresses, cargo dimensions, weight, a commodity description and any special handling requirements.

  5. Q05How is air freight pricing calculated?

    Rates are based on the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight (L × W × H / 6000 for cm, or / 166 for inches). We also factor in fuel surcharges, security fees and any special handling. Contact us for a detailed breakdown.

  6. Q06Is cargo insurance included, or do I buy it separately?

    Basic carrier liability is limited, typically $20 per kg. We strongly recommend comprehensive cargo insurance, which we can arrange. It usually costs 0.3–1% of the cargo value and covers loss, damage and theft.

  7. Q07What packaging is required for air freight?

    Cargo must be packed to withstand handling and air pressure changes. Use sturdy boxes, palletise where possible and cushion properly. Fragile items need "Fragile" labels, and every package needs clear shipping labels with handling instructions.

  8. Q08Can I ship lithium batteries by air?

    Yes, with restrictions. Lithium batteries must comply with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations; batteries installed in equipment are easier to ship than standalone ones. We handle the documentation and labelling, so just tell us at booking.

  9. Q09What items are prohibited on air freight?

    Prohibited items include explosives, flammable liquids and gases, toxic substances and certain chemicals. Restricted items such as lithium batteries, dry ice and magnetised materials need special documentation. We'll help you check whether your cargo is acceptable.

  10. Q10How much does air freight cost compared with sea freight?

    Air freight typically costs 5–10 times more than sea freight, but delivers in days instead of weeks. For urgent, high-value or low-volume shipments the speed often justifies the cost, and we can help you weigh it up.

  11. Q11What documents do I need for international air freight?

    A commercial invoice, packing list, Air Waybill (AWB), certificate of origin where applicable, and any product-specific certificates (FDA, FCC and so on). Dangerous goods also need a Shipper's Declaration. We guide you through all of it.

  12. Q12Can I track my air freight shipment in real time?

    Yes. You get the Air Waybill number to track online, plus proactive notifications at key milestones: departure, arrival, customs clearance and delivery.

  13. Q13What's the difference between airport-to-airport and door-to-door?

    Airport-to-airport covers only the flight between origin and destination airports; you arrange pickup and delivery. Door-to-door is the complete service: pickup in Europe, air transport, customs clearance and final delivery to your US location. Most customers choose door-to-door.

  14. Q14What happens if my cargo is damaged in transit?

    Inspect the shipment on delivery and note any damage on the delivery receipt. File a claim within 14 days with photos and documentation. If you have cargo insurance, we'll help with the claim; without it, carrier liability is limited.
