Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What packaging is required for consolidated (LCL) air freight from the US?
A. When cargo is consolidated with other shipments, packaging must be robust enough to withstand external handling and contact with adjacent cargo. Packaging standards may vary by airline and cargo type — confirm requirements in advance.
Q. How are consolidation air freight rates calculated?
A. Air freight rates are calculated based on the greater of actual weight (kg) or volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ volumetric factor). Additional charges such as fuel surcharges and security fees may apply.
Q. What does NON-DG mean for air cargo?
A. NON-DG means the cargo does not contain dangerous goods as classified under IATA regulations. Non-DG cargo is generally accepted by airlines without the additional documentation and packaging requirements that apply to DG shipments.
