Commercial Air Freight (Core) to Guangzhou / Shenzhen: Execution for Electronics Manufacturing & EV Components

For standard commercial air cargo bound for Guangzhou / Shenzhen (China), gateway selection (CAN / SZX) is driven by piece dimensions, gross vs. volumetric weight (IATA divisor 6000) and consignee location. Depending on the lane profile, we utilize direct widebody belly capacity, main-deck freighters or coordinated connecting hubs from Frankfurt (FRA).

To ensure smooth import handling in China, we verify export customs filings alongside required shipping documents (Master/House AWB, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin and sector-specific documentation for Electronics Manufacturing, EV Components, Robotics, Chemicals).
