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 pricing depends on volumetric (dimensional) weight, comparing actual and calculated size. Compact packaging helps reduce both shipping costs and handling fees.
Rates often increase during Christmas, Semana Santa, and high-volume retail events such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Booking early ensures better prices and guaranteed capacity.
Customs clearance is managed by DARA, which oversees import duties and local VAT (ISV).
iContainers ensures compliance with DARA's online declaration system and automates import/export documentation for express shipments.
Use durable, moisture-resistant cartons and proper inner padding. Label parcels in Spanish and English and include a detailed commercial invoice on the exterior.
