FBA air freight has the advantages of fast transportation speed, safety, and reliability, so many companies will use this logistics method to transport urgent goods. However, many people who have just started doing foreign trade are not aware of the taboos of air transportation, resulting in goods being detained by customs and causing unnecessary losses. Today, based on the experience of FBA air freight, we have summarized several precautions for your reference in order to better deliver goods to Amazon warehouses.
In terms of the types of FBA air cargo, it is necessary to pay attention not to transport prohibited items, overweight and oversized items. Air transportation by plane is different from sea transportation, as many items may seem harmless, but they can affect the safety of aircraft navigation. Aviation contraband includes toxic substances, weapons, ammunition, animals and plants, batteries, flour, and flammable and explosive substances, among which raw meat, poultry, and some batteries meet international requirements and can also be transported. Due to the limited size and space of the aircraft's hatch, the weight of a single cargo cannot exceed 30KG and the size cannot exceed the aircraft hatch. All goods transported by FBA air freight must have complete documents, including electronic invoices, packing lists, and at least two FBA barcodes affixed to each box. If it is some special goods, other relevant certificates, such as quality inspection certificates, are also required.
During FBA air freight customs declaration, the value of the goods cannot be underestimated in order to save tariffs. Once foreign customs conduct price verification, a series of expenses will be incurred due to the goods staying for inspection, such as venue fees, container rental fees, etc. This not only outweighs the losses, but also affects the credit records of export traders. In addition, it is essential not to export counterfeit or counterfeit products through FBA air freight. Foreign inspections of knowledge products are very strict, and once counterfeit products are found during inspection, they will face high fines and affect the credit record of future shipping.
