Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Air freight rate?

There is no single "fixed rate" for shipping to a specific country. Because airplanes have limited space and weight capacity. Airfreight pricing is dynamic and depends entirely on the unique characteristics of your shipment.

To get an exact, binding quote, please provide us with:

The final destination city or airport.
The total physical weight of the shipment.
The exact dimensions of each package or pallet.

Furthermore, it is best to note that airlines use a concept called Chargeable Weight. Here is how it works in simple terms: Airlines measure both the physical weight of your shipment (on a scale) and its size (the volume it occupies). If a shipment takes up a lot of space but is very light (like a large box of pillows), it will be charged based on its size rather than its actual weight. This size-based weight is called volumetric weight. Your final shipping cost is always calculated using whichever number is greater, between the actual weight and the volumetric weight of the consignment.

Note: The rate per kilogram typically drops as your shipment gets heavier. Shipping a larger, heavier volume will generally cost you less per kilogram than shipping a small, light box.

Do you offer door-to-door export services from Tanzania?

Yes, we do.

We provide complete, end-to-end door-to-door exportation to ensure your shipping experience is entirely seamless and hands-off. With this service, you only have to deal with one point of contact—us—while we manage the international complexities behind the scenes.

How long does airfreight shipping typically take?

While airfreight is the fastest mode of international transport, the total timeline depends on the specific service level you choose and how far the cargo is traveling.

Generally, you can expect the following timelines:

Standard Airport-to-Airport: Typically takes 1 to 5 business days. This represents the time it takes for the cargo to be processed at the origin airport, fly to the destination, and be unloaded.
Door-to-Door Export: Typically takes 3 to 8 business days. This includes the entire journey: picking up the cargo from you, handling export customs, the international flight, clearing import customs at the destination, and final delivery to the recipient's doorstep.

It is important to note that the flights themselves are very fast, but total transit times are often decided by how quickly customs clearance takes. Ensuring your documentation is complete and accurate before shipping is the best way to prevent any unexpected delays.
