International air freight services from India for time-critical commercial cargo

Yes, Cargoking coordinates inbound air freight into India as well as export air cargo. For buyers sourcing from overseas suppliers, our overseas partners arrange the origin booking, and our team handles document checks, arrival and final delivery coordination. See our freight forwarding services.

Where documents are ready and space is available, an air shipment can usually be tendered within a working day. The constraint is rarely the booking. It is the paperwork, which is why we check it before the cargo leaves your premises. Request an air freight quote.

Air courier suits documents, samples and small parcels, while air freight suits larger commercial shipments booked on chargeable weight. A courier moves the parcel door to door under one booking. Air freight moves under an air waybill, with export and import clearance handled separately. Send small parcels through Cargoking Express and commercial cargo through our air freight team.

Pallet height depends on the aircraft: passenger aircraft commonly take around 160 cm, while freighters accept taller loads. Check the limit with us before packing, because an oversized pallet may need re-packing or a different flight. Our export packaging team can plan the build.

Dangerous goods by air must comply with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, with a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods, UN-specification packaging and the required hazard labels. We need the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group and safety data sheet before booking, because carrier acceptance depends on them. See our hazardous cargo handling.

Yes, lithium batteries can move by air under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, but standalone lithium-ion batteries (UN3480) must fly on cargo aircraft only. They need the correct packing, labels and a state of charge not above 30%. Batteries packed with or inside equipment (UN3481) follow separate rules. Read about our hazardous cargo handling.

The temperature range for pharmaceuticals and perishables is agreed in writing before booking. We then plan packaging, temperature monitoring and routings with short connections to protect the product during airport storage and flight transfers. See our temperature-controlled logistics.

Direct air freight moves your cargo under its own air waybill, while consolidated air freight combines several shipments under one master air waybill to cut cost. Exporters and importers choose direct booking for high urgency and consolidation for lower shipping spend. Compare both in an itemised quote.

Your coordinator works with our documentation team to get the file ready before the airport cut-off. If the cargo is at risk of missing the flight, the decision to re-book, split or upgrade is made in minutes, not after an email chain. If it still misses, we arrange rebooking, rerouting or a switch to consolidation.

Incoterms define whether the seller or buyer pays for origin handling, main air carriage, insurance and destination customs clearance. Agreeing the right term makes destination fees clear before purchase orders are signed. For air freight, use terms such as FCA, CPT, CIP or DAP, because FOB and CIF are written for sea freight.
