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.
Costs are calculated based on volumetric weight, so compact and properly packaged shipments are more cost-efficient. Packaging optimization can significantly reduce express costs.
Rates fluctuate during peak seasons such as El Buen Fin, Christmas, and Mother's Day, when ecommerce volume surges. Booking early helps maintain faster delivery and lower rates.
Customs procedures are managed by Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) and ANAM.
Simplified processes apply for express shipments using electronic declarations (pedimento simplificado).
Use sturdy corrugated boxes and seal them securely. Label in both English and Spanish, including HS codes and declared values to speed up customs inspection.
Mexico prohibits or restricts the shipment of currency, firearms, perishables, chemicals, medical samples, and narcotics. Check ANAM's restricted goods list before shipping.
Mexico's ecommerce ecosystem - powered by Mercado Libre, Amazon Mexico, and Shein - demands quick and reliable cross-border logistics. iContainers integrates air express delivery with automated customs clearance for online sellers.
Each parcel is tracked from pickup to final delivery. Integrated customs filing via SAT's Ventanilla Única ensures fast, compliant processing for ecommerce exports and imports.
Typically 1-4 business days, depending on destination and customs clearance.
