Important: destination and cargo acceptance are never assumed. Controlled items, permits and consignee readiness are checked before booking.

  3. 03Confirm importer and tax-document readiness
  4. 04Keep last-mile scope explicit

Service choice

Match the mode to the operational deadline.

Priority Air

For breakdowns, shutdown windows and project-critical pieces.

Standard Air Freight

Balanced uplift and cost for normal commercial deadlines.

Planned or Consolidated

For flexible cargo, eligible routes and available capacity.

How to choose: Choose the gateway from the importer, final city and cargo—not simply the lowest airport rate. Direct air can reduce transfers for urgent parts; a hub-and-onward plan may fit multi-country distribution.

Services are not offered where prohibited by sanctions or applicable law. Availability remains subject to route, carrier and cargo approval.

Quote checklist

Send a brief the freight team can price.

  • Destination country, city and final delivery point
  • Importer and customs broker details
  • Commodity, origin, value and HS code where known
  • Packed pieces, weights and dimensions
  • Direct-air or regional-distribution requirement

Documents

Prepare the clearance file early.

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Transport and origin documents
  • Destination permits or conformity evidence where applicable
  • Importer tax and clearance details
  • Last-mile receiving instructions

Customs readiness

The receiver must be ready before uplift.

Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda have separate import procedures and taxes. The importer or broker in the destination country should validate current documents and product controls.

Official portals provide general requirements, but the importer or appointed broker should confirm the live position for the exact commodity, value and intended use.
