how Air freight works

What is Air
Freight Forwarding?

Air freight forwarding is the process of moving cargo by aircraft between countries, coordinated by a freight forwarder on your behalf. Rather than booking directly with airlines and managing customs paperwork yourself, a freight forwarder like USL handles carrier selection, documentation, and coordination between origin and destination so your cargo moves quickly without you managing every step.

Air freight is the fastest international shipping method available, moving cargo in days rather than weeks. USL manages the full process from booking to final delivery, whether you need a single urgent shipment or a recurring air freight lane for your business.

Why Choose Air
Freight Forwarding?

Choosing air freight forwarding through USL means access to competitive rates across a global carrier network, experienced customs and documentation support, and a single point of contact managing your shipment from booking through delivery instead of coordinating with multiple vendors yourself.

FAQS

Air Freight Forwarding Questions We Get Asked Often

Q1: What is the difference between FCL and LCL ocean freight?

FCL means your cargo fills an entire container and ships on its own. LCL means your cargo shares a container with other shipments and you pay only for the space you use.

Q2: How long does ocean freight shipping take?

Transit time depends on the origin and destination port but ocean freight typically takes two to six weeks depending on the trade lane.

Q3: Do you handle customs clearance for ocean shipments?

Yes. USL manages export and import documentation and customs coordination for every ocean freight shipment.

Q4: Can you ship oversized or non containerized cargo?

Yes. Our break bulk and project cargo service handles oversized and heavy freight that does not fit standard container dimensions.

Q5: Do you offer temperature controlled ocean shipping?

Yes. Our reefer container service provides temperature controlled transport for perishable and climate sensitive cargo.
