Air Express Services
Air express shipping connects senders with global courier networks. Parcels are picked up from your location, processed through export customs, flown to destination hubs, and delivered directly to the recipient - typically within days.
While air freight is ideal for large cargo, air express provides priority handling, door-to-door delivery, and real-time tracking. It's the preferred method for smaller, high-value, or time-sensitive shipments that require faster customs clearance.
Air express costs are based on volumetric (dimensional) weight, whichever is greater between size and actual weight. Compact, well-protected packaging ensures lower rates and smoother customs clearance.
Rates typically increase during Christmas, Easter, and Black Friday / Cyber Week, when ecommerce and export volumes rise sharply. Booking early helps avoid surcharges and delays.
As a member of the European Union Customs Union, shipments within the EU are duty-free. For non-EU imports and exports, Toldstyrelsen regulates all customs processes.
Use sturdy, double-walled boxes with sufficient cushioning and water-resistant sealing. Label all packages clearly and attach invoices externally in English or Danish for efficient customs handling.
Denmark prohibits the shipment of cash, live animals, weapons, narcotics, perishables, and hazardous materials. Certain electronics and chemicals require special approval under EU import/export rules.
