What Is Air Express Shipping?

How Air Express Works for Small Parcels & Boxes

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.

Key Features of Air Express vs. Air Freight

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.

Best Use Cases for Air Express


  • Urgent business documents: Export contracts, corporate paperwork, or legal filings.

  • Small parcels & boxes: Product samples or personal items needing quick delivery.

  • Courier Services: Quick international deliveries available.

  • Cross-Border Ecommerce Orders: Essential for online sellers shipping to neighboring markets, North America, Europe, Middle East or Asia.

Air Express Costs from/to Finland


How Weight and Size Affect Pricing


Air express rates are based on volumetric (dimensional) weight, calculated from the package size and actual weight. Using compact, protective packaging keeps costs lower and speeds up customs checks.


Seasonal Price Changes


Shipping costs can rise during Christmas, Black Friday, and Midsummer, when shipping demand is high. Booking early helps secure stable pricing and timely delivery.


Customs Duties and Taxes for Finland


As part of the European Union Customs Union, goods shipped within the EU are duty-free. Imports from outside the EU are regulated by Tulli (Finnish Customs).


  • Import Duty: generally 0-12%, depending on goods classification.
  • Value-Added Tax (ALV): standard rate 24%, reduced rates of 14% and 10% for certain goods.
  • De Minimis Threshold: imports under EUR 150 are exempt from customs duties (VAT still applies).

Electronic customs clearance via Tulli's Customs Clearance System speeds up processing for express shipments.


Packaging & Documentation for Air Express Shipments


Best Packaging Practices for Small Boxes & Parcels


Use sturdy, weather-resistant packaging suited to Finland's cold and humid conditions. Include bilingual (Finnish-English) documentation and attach invoices securely to avoid customs delays.


Required Documents for Air Express from/to Finland


  • Air Waybill (AWB)
  • Commercial Invoice (in English or Finnish)
  • Packing List
  • Customs Declaration (for non-EU shipments)

Restricted and Prohibited Items


Prohibited goods include weapons, narcotics, cash, perishables, fireworks, and hazardous materials. Certain electronics and lithium batteries require IATA Dangerous Goods compliance.
