General Cargo

General cargo are items that do not fall into the Special Cargo categories and that do not require any extra precautions or special handling during air transport. These types of items are retail and most consumer goods (with the exception of mobile phones, tablets and laptops) , dry goods, hardware, textiles, and more.

This type of service is usually less in price than the Special Cargo service. Transit time may be sometimes longer. For cargo to be categorized as “General Cargo”, it shouldn’t have any special needs like temperature control or fast-moving for short shelf life. It also should not be oversized or have odd dimensions (like overlength).



For both loose and unitized shipments, our simple speed and pricing structure mean it’s easy to find an ideal service to suit your needs.
