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 Singapore


How Weight and Size Affect Pricing


Air express costs are determined by volumetric (dimensional) weight. Compact packaging and accurate weight measurement reduce cost and improve handling efficiency.


Seasonal Price Changes


Shipping costs may fluctuate during Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and Black Friday / Christmas, when demand peaks. Early booking ensures stable pricing and faster transit.


Customs Duties and Taxes for Singapore


All import and export activities are regulated by Singapore Customs under the Customs Act and GST Act.


  • Import Duties: generally 0% for most goods; dutiable goods include alcohol, tobacco, motor vehicles, and petroleum products.
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST): 9% (as of 2025) applied to imported goods.
  • De Minimis Threshold: low-value imports under SGD 400 may qualify for simplified clearance.
  • FTA Benefits: Singapore's extensive Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) allow duty exemptions or reductions for many trade partners.

iContainers handles electronic customs submissions via TradeNet, ensuring compliance and rapid clearance for express shipments.
