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 pricing is based on volumetric (dimensional) weight. Compact and secure packaging reduces overall costs and ensures faster customs inspection.
Rates may fluctuate during Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and global ecommerce peaks like Black Friday or Christmas. Advance bookings help lock in better rates and guaranteed flight space.
All imports and exports are regulated by the Taiwan Customs Administration (Ministry of Finance).
iContainers supports electronic customs filing via Taiwan Customs' EDI system, ensuring fast, paperless clearance.
Use sturdy, shock-resistant boxes suited for long-distance air transit. Label clearly in English and Traditional Chinese, and attach invoices and declarations externally for customs inspection.
Taiwan restricts firearms, narcotics, perishables, live animals, counterfeit goods, and flammable substances. Certain electronics and medical products may require certification from the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) or TFDA.
Taiwan's booming ecommerce sector - led by Shopee, PChome, Momo Shop, and Yahoo! Taiwan - relies on reliable, cross-border logistics.
iContainers helps ecommerce sellers reach new markets with automated customs processing, VAT-ready invoices, and end-to-end tracking.
