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 prices are based on volumetric (dimensional) weight. Compact and protective packaging helps reduce shipping costs and customs inspection time.
Rates can increase during Christmas, Easter, and Black Friday, when ecommerce volumes peak. Early booking helps secure stable rates and guaranteed space.
As part of the European Union Customs Union, intra-EU shipments are duty-free. Imports from non-EU countries are processed by Polish Customs (KAS).
iContainers facilitates electronic customs clearance via PUESC (Polski Urząd Elektronicznej Służby Celnej), ensuring faster processing for express shipments.
