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 Spain
How Weight and Size Affect Pricing
Air express rates are based on volumetric (dimensional) weight. Compact, protective packaging reduces total cost and improves handling efficiency.
Seasonal Price Changes
Prices may rise during Christmas, Easter, Black Friday, and Rebajas (seasonal sales) due to high parcel volume. Early booking ensures steady rates and faster transit.
Customs Duties and Taxes for Spain
As an EU member, shipments within the EU are duty-free. Imports from outside the EU are processed by AEAT Customs.
- Import Duties: typically 0-12%, depending on tariff classification.
- Value-Added Tax (IVA): 21% standard rate; reduced 10% / 4% for certain goods (e.g., food, books, medicine).
- De Minimis Threshold: goods valued under EUR 150 are exempt from customs duties but still subject to IVA.
iContainers handles electronic customs submission via VUA/DUA, ensuring compliance and rapid clearance.
