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 Indonesia


How Weight and Size Affect Pricing


Air express pricing depends on volumetric (dimensional) weight, calculated based on size and density. Compact, lightweight packaging reduces costs and ensures faster handling.


Seasonal Price Changes


Rates may vary during peak periods such as Ramadan, Idul Fitri (Eid al-Fitr), Christmas, and Harbolnas (National Online Shopping Day) when parcel volumes surge.


Customs Duties and Taxes for Indonesia


All imports and exports are regulated by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Bea Cukai).


  • Import Duty: 0%-15%, depending on the product HS code.
  • VAT (PPN): 11% standard rate.
  • De Minimis Threshold: Imports valued under USD 3 are exempt from import duties but still subject to VAT.
    Simplified customs clearance is available for express courier shipments via Consignment Note (CN) procedure.

Packaging & Documentation for Air Express Shipments


Best Packaging Practices for Small Boxes & Parcels


Use double-layer boxes, internal cushioning, and waterproof wrapping to protect goods from tropical humidity. Attach invoices both inside and outside the package for smoother DJBC inspection.


Required Documents for Air Express from/to Indonesia


  • Air Waybill (AWB)
  • Commercial Invoice (in English or bilingual)
  • Packing List
  • Export/Import Declaration (PEB/PIB, if applicable)

Restricted and Prohibited Items


Indonesia prohibits the export or import of narcotics, firearms, counterfeit goods, pornography, currency, and hazardous materials. Check DJBC's restricted items list before shipping.
