Right paperwork saves a lot of headache. So our team helps you with:
Commercial Invoice & Packing List
Air Waybill (AWB)
Certificate of Origin (if required)
MSDS / DG declaration for dangerous goods
Import/export permits where applicable
We also coordinate with your team for GST / VAT numbers, EORI, IEC, or any other trade IDs needed depending on country.
How We Calculate Air Freight Charges
In air freight, you pay on chargeable weight, which can be:
Actual Weight (kg on scale), or
Volumetric Weight (based on size of cartons)
Whichever is higher becomes your chargeable weight.
Volumetric Weight formula (common standard):
Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length cm × Width cm × Height cm) / 6000
So, if your carton is 100 × 80 × 60 cm:
100 × 80 × 60 = 480,000 / 6000 = 80 kg
If actual weight is 50 kg, you still pay for 80 kg because it occupies that much space on aircraft.
We always share this calculation clearly so you know why your air freight cost is what it is.

When to Choose Air Freight vs Sea Freight
You should usually pick air freight when:
Your cargo is urgent or time-sensitive.
Product value is high, so storage costs and stock-outs hurt more than freight cost.
Shipments are small to medium in volume (e.g., cartons or small pallets).
On the other hand, sea freight often works better when:
Cargo is heavy and not urgent.
You want lowest cost per kg.
You ship full containers regularly.
Movers BS can support both air and sea freight, so we can always suggest a mix that fits your budget and timeline.

FAQs – Sea Freight Service
Sea freight service (or ocean freight) is the transportation of goods by sea using cargo vessels. It is usually the most cost-effective way to ship large volumes and heavy cargo between countries.
Sea freight is slower but cheaper for large shipments, while air freight is faster but more expensive. Usually, businesses use sea freight for bulk cargo and air freight for urgent or high-value goods.
Common container types include 20-foot (20FT) containers, 40-foot (40FT) containers, 40HC (high cube), and refrigerated (reefer) containers for temperature-controlled cargo. There are also open-top and flat rack containers for oversized loads.
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book a full container only for your cargo.
LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares a container with other shippers.
FCL is safer and often cheaper when you have enough cargo, while LCL is good for smaller loads.
Transit time depends on the route. For example, Asia to Europe may take around 25–40 days, while Asia to Middle East can be around 10–20 days. Port congestion and customs clearance can also affect timing.
Yes, sea freight is almost always cheaper per kilogram than air freight, especially for heavy or bulky goods. However, it takes more time, so you must plan inventory accordingly.
Typical documents include Bill of Lading (B/L), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and sometimes insurance policy and inspection certificates, depending on the destination country.
A Bill of Lading is a legal document issued by the shipping line or freight forwarder. It serves as a receipt of goods, a document of title, and a contract of carriage between shipper and carrier.
Yes, most shipping lines and freight forwarders provide online tracking using container number or Bill of Lading number. While updates are not as frequent as air freight, you can still monitor vessel movement and estimated arrival.
Port-to-port: You deliver cargo to the origin port and the consignee picks it up at destination port.
Door-to-door: The freight forwarder manages pickup from your location and final delivery to your buyer’s address, including customs clearance.
Sea freight cost usually depends on:
Container type and size (for FCL)
Volume / weight in cubic meters or metric tons (for LCL)
Origin and destination ports
Surcharges like BAF, CAF, handling, documentation fees
Free time is the number of days you can keep the container at port or depot without penalty. If you exceed this period, you pay demurrage (at port) or detention (outside port) charges per day, which can get expensive.
Yes, many types of dangerous goods can be shipped by sea, provided they follow IMO regulations, proper packing, labeling, and documentation. However, acceptance depends on shipping line policy and port rules.
Marine cargo insurance protects your goods against loss or damage during sea transport. Because sea journeys involve multiple risks (weather, handling, theft, etc.), it is strongly recommended to have insurance, especially for high-value shipments.
Ideally, you should book sea freight at least 1–2 weeks before cargo is ready, sometimes earlier in peak seasons. This gives enough time to arrange container, space, documentation, and customs formalities.
Incoterms are international trade terms (like FOB, CIF, EXW, DAP, DDP) that define the responsibilities and risk transfer between buyer and seller. They indicate who pays for freight, insurance, and customs at different stages.
Yes, some companies use multimodal solutions, where part of the route moves by sea and the urgent portion by air. This can optimize both cost and delivery speed.
Some common surcharges are BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor), CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor), Terminal Handling Charges (THC), Documentation fee, and sometimes Peak Season Surcharge (PSS).
Customs authorities review your documents, assess declared value, and calculate duties & taxes. Once payment and checks are complete, your shipment gets customs cleared and can be moved out of the port. A good freight forwarder will guide you through this.

Product type and value
If speed is critical, air freight is better. If cost matters more and cargo is bulky, sea freight is usually the smarter choice. Many businesses even mix both, using sea for base stock and air for urgent replenishment.
