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 Hungary
How Weight and Size Affect Pricing
Air express rates are calculated based on volumetric (dimensional) weight. Using compact, well-protected packaging helps minimize costs and ensures faster handling.
Seasonal Price Changes
Shipping costs may rise during Christmas, Easter, and Black Friday Europe, when parcel volumes peak. Early bookings help secure preferred pricing and guaranteed air space.
Customs Duties and Taxes for Hungary
As a member of the European Union Customs Union, goods shipped within the EU are duty-free. Imports from outside the EU are subject to Hungarian Customs (NAV) procedures.
- Import Duties: typically 0-12%, depending on product classification.
- Value-Added Tax (Általános Forgalmi Adó - ÁFA): standard 27%, one of the highest in the EU.
- De Minimis Threshold: goods valued under EUR 150 are exempt from customs duties, though VAT applies.
iContainers handles electronic customs submissions through the NAV system, ensuring faster clearance for express parcels.

Best Packaging Practices for Small Boxes & Parcels
Use sturdy, moisture-resistant boxes and interior cushioning to protect goods during transit. Include bilingual (Hungarian-English) invoices and attach documentation externally for customs visibility.
