GOOD TO KNOW
A few practical
answers.
Can any item travel with a courier?
No. Suitability depends on size, contents, airline policies, security requirements, and destination rules. We assess the actual cargo before confirming.
Does hand carry remove the need for customs clearance?
No. Applicable export and import requirements still apply. The documentation and declaration process must be planned.
How should I start an urgent hand-carry request?
Call operations and provide the cargo location, dimensions, weight, contents, and deadline.
