- Are there any additional handling charges apart from the courier fee?
In some countries, certain materials are subject to Tax and Duty charges imposed by the destination country. Usually we would notify the Consignee/Receiver for the payment prior to delivery.
If the Sender/Shipper is paying for the Tax and Duty, please mark “Free Domicile“ on the special instructions column on the air waybill, so all charges will be billed back to Shipper. There is a ten percent Tax and Duty handling charge for this arrangement.
- Can we send shipments to a P.O Box?
We cannot deliver to P.O Box unless there is a Consignee’s name and telephone number available for us to contact prior to making delivery arrangement.
- What are the difference costs between a box and a pouch delivery?
The volumetric or (dimensional) weight of the box is calculated based on the formula used in the Freight industry for the packaging density when calculating shipping charges and then compared with the actual weight of the shipment to ascertain which is greater. The greater of the two is used to calculate the shipping cost.
= Volumetric weight (in kg)
Length x Width X height (in cm)
5000
*Note: The volumetric weight of a shipment refers to the density of the package. The volumetric or dimensional weight is use in the calculation of the actual weight of the shipment. The greater of the two or the higher weight is use to calculate the shipment cost. This is applicable to both box and pouch shipments.
- What kinds of documents are needed for sending parcels?
Invoices are required for all non-document shipments while different countries are subject to different import documents for different commodities.
