Rate information

To obtain information regarding shipments and rates, simply contact one of our agents. Please have the following information available: nature of the goods to be shipped, weight and dimensions and shipping dates. contacts

Depending on the destination, our agents may provide you with two sets of rates:

  • Consolidated cargo: This is the most common and convenient. It covers all fees upon arrival. Our agent will also handle all customs procedures. Note: perishable items may not be included in consolidated cargo.
  • AWB individual registration: This rate is appropriate for shipping perishables as it involves faster transport. However, it is also more burdensome and restrictive because upon arrival you must arrange for the items to be released from the warehouse and be cleared through customs.

Important rate information

The unaccompanied luggage system provides a per kilo rate that is lower than that for excess luggage weight rates. However, it is advantageous only if you have exceeded the limit by a significant amount (more than 10 - 20 kilos) because of the minimum fixed rates applied to such shipments.

The rate provided will apply to the taxable weight of your shipments, so the volume of your goods will be taken into account.

Most of our agents will offer an "all-inclusive" rate up to a certain weight.

Note regarding customs: depending on the country of origin, the country of destination may impose fees and charges on your tax-free purchases.

Note regarding alcohol from French Overseas Departments (including rum)

As of November 1, 2009, the freight allowance is three 70 cl bottles or two liters of rum. If you exceed that quantity, you must pay customs fees when you arrive in Metropolitan France.
