General Trader Clearance
General consignments are sent via air freight for a variety of reasons:
- Size: Where the shipment is too large to go by courier
- Nature of cargo: Some goods are considered as ‘dangerous cargo’ and must therefore travel as air freight
- Packing requirements: Some consignments (eg, antiques, fragile items) require specialist packing
- Temperature: Some consignments (eg perishables, medication, live cargo) require to be stored at certain temperatures
- Origin or destination point: Some do not offer courier flight facilities
- Urgency: Less urgent shipments can go by air freight at lower cost than being sent by courier.
Wholesalers importing larger consignments of stock will often prefer to use sea/ocean freight. Slower than air freight, it is a lower cost option which is appropriate to many types of product.
