The carrier of international air freight from China to USA is an airplane, which can fly without being affected by terrain such as mountains, oceans, and deserts.
Therefore, the timeliness of international air transportation is much higher than other transportation methods, so many foreign trade sellers prefer this delivery method.

Because in the form of international air freight, the delivery of goods is completed within the same company from the beginning to the end, the operating procedures of each branch are the same, and the service standards are basically the same, and the internal information exchange of the same company is more convenient, and the protection of customers’ high-value and fragile goods is also important. It will be more appropriate, so the safety and reliability of transportation will be better.

To be precise, international air freight involves more than just one form of air transportation, it is more like land-air combined transportation. The service extends from the airport to the customer’s receiving place, which truly realizes door-to-door service and facilitates customers.

Packaging requirements can be reduced because the stability of air navigation and the automatic landing system reduce the replacement rate. It has obvious advantages after avoiding loss and damage of goods.
International Air Freight Billing Standard
In international air transport, due to the limited space, it will definitely hurt the cost to put a large light cargo in the same space. Therefore, according to international standards, the express weight is divided into actual weight and volume weight.
After the items are packaged, measure the length, width and height of the carton (or wooden box and other outer packaging) and weigh it. In air express, most channel charging standards are based on the maximum value of actual weight and volume weight. The formula for volume weight (kg) is: length, width, and height of the outer packaging (cm)/5000.
For example, the size of the carton is length (50 cm), width (40 cm), height (60 cm), and the volume weight calculated according to the size of the carton is: 50 cm x 40 cm x 60 cm ÷ 5000 = 24 (kg/volume weight).
If the actual weight of the carton is 20 kg, then the charged weight is 24 kg (volume weight); if the actual weight of the carton is 28 kg, then the charged weight is 28 kg (actual weight).
