Air Freight Clearance Built for Speed
Air cargo moves fast, and clearance has to keep pace — a shipment sitting in a bonded warehouse for an extra day erodes the entire reason it went by air. We handle air freight clearance with documentation prepared ahead of landing and direct coordination with the handling agent.
What this covers
- Pre-arrival entry filing based on the airway bill and manifest
- Perishable and time-sensitive cargo prioritization
- Coordination with ground handling agents and bonded warehouses
- Courier and express-shipment clearance where volumes warrant a dedicated process
- Same-day query resolution to protect fast transit times

Process
How it works
- 01
Pre-arrival preparation
Documentation is reviewed and, where possible, the entry is prepared before the flight lands.
- 02
Landing & filing
The entry is filed as soon as the manifest is available, prioritizing time-sensitive cargo.
- 03
Handling agent coordination
We coordinate directly with the ground handler on where the cargo physically sits pending release.
- 04
Release
Cleared cargo is released for pickup or onward delivery, typically same-day for straightforward shipments.
Watch for
Where this commonly goes wrong
Most delays trace back to a small, recurring set of causes. Being aware of them before shipping reduces the odds of hitting one.
- 01
Perishable cargo held for inspection with no fast-track process requested
- 02
Courier-model shipments misrouted through standard cargo clearance, adding unnecessary time
- 03
Missing certificates for goods with sanitary or phytosanitary requirements
- 04
Weight or dimension discrepancies between the airway bill and the physical shipment
