Customs Clearance
The laws regarding customs clearance and compliance can seem overwhelming and complicated, especially when you’re navigating them on your own. What’s worse, should your shipment experience a delay or penalty, your bottom line is greatly impacted. As your partner in global customs, we work with you while staying on the front lines of customs compliance. Gone are the days of worrying about interruptions or surprises on your cargo’s route – leave it in the hands of the experts.
Air Freight Consolidation
Our consolidated air freight services allow you to take advantage of cost-effective solutions for shipments that do not completely fill a container. Rather than paying for an entire container that will have empty space, we work with our partners to consolidate, or combine, shipments from multiple senders to cut costs and reduce damage. The result is a timely and affordable solution for all parties involved.
Types of International Air Cargo
Air cargo takes a variety of forms, whether the shipment be critical or routine. Different regulations apply for each type of cargo; therefore, it’s critical to understand how they vary. A reliable freight forwarding company not only knows the rules and regulations, but also guides their clients through the process.

General goods
It’s our goal at Global Gateway Logistics to educate our clients in all aspects of their custom logistics strategy, including what type of cargo they’re wishing to transport. Items such as hardware, toys, clothing, textiles, electronics, and other consumer goods are considered general cargo in air freight, since they do not require extra precaution and care. Therefore, they are not as heavily regulated as the other class of goods: dangerous cargo.
dangerous goods
Dangerous goods are defined as substances or articles that are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment. Goods that are categorized as dangerous, such as pharmaceuticals and e-cigarettes, are highly regulated. Improperly shipping dangerous goods can be costly to your reputation, your finances, and your ability to ship. Specific procedures must be followed closely for proper documentation, package marking and labeling, and shipment handling.
In addition to following all processes while shipping dangerous goods, it’s important to understand the responsibilities of each party involved. As complex as the procedures may be, you are not alone. Our years of experience in the industry have allowed us to fully understand the ins and outs of all rules and regulations. We’ve developed reliable, proven strategies for numerous clients, and we’ll do the same for you.
Types of Containers Used
Another key piece of your international air freight solution is determining which type of container will be used. The goal is to boost efficiency and reduce costs while taking into account the shipment’s dimensions and route. The options available include:
- Air cargo pallets: Flat pallets that are fitted to the main deck of an aircraft and are secured with a net
- Contoured air cargo containers: Semi-structured containers with one side open that’s either protected by a net or fiberglass
- Lower deck containers: Completely enclosed shipping containers made specifically for lower decks of planes
- Box type containers: With easily handled and rated units, box type containers are used to consolidate shipments
