Questions & answers
What documents are required for air freight?
- Air Waybill (AWB): This is the document of title to the goods travelling by air and is therefore non-negotiable. It travels with the cargo and acts as evidence of delivery of the goods travelling on board the plane.
- Commercial invoice: Document establishing the conditions of sale for the goods and their specifications. Serves as proof of sale.
- Packing list: A list of the contents in a package, completing the information of the invoice, which must be issued by the sender.
- Customs clearance authorisation: Document with which an importer or exporter authorises a customs agent to submit one or several customs declarations on their behalf.
What is air chartering?
The price of air transport for a cargo. Although it is calculated based on the volume of the goods, the cost of chartering is strongly influenced by variables such as the availability of physical means (of transport) on the desired route or the price of fuel at the moment in question.
How do you calculate the cost of air charter?
An air charter service is calculated based on the volume of the goods transported. However, it is strongly influenced by the availability of physical means(transport) on your desired route. By way of an example, bringing goods from China is much cheaper than it is to take them there. This is because shipowners are in high demand for bringing cargo from China to Europe, while it is more complicated to find freight to transport back out to China given the existing trade imbalance. Another variable with a strong influence is the oil price at the moment of travelling.
What’s the difference between air cargo and a courier service?
What size is a cargo ship?
The size of a general cargo or multi-purpose ship varies greatly, although they tend to be rather small according to freight carrier standards. They are generally between 5,000 and 25,000 DWT.
How does Vermilion choose carriers?
We work with the most reputable contract carriers across the nation, each of which is required to go through numerous steps in order to meet the strict Compliance, Safety and Accountability (CSA) requirements.
What is a bill of lading?
The bill of lading (BOL) acts as an invoicing receipt in the shipping industry, and with many motor carriers, the BOL is the contract of carriage between that motor carrier and the shipper. It includes important information related to the shipment such as addresses, packaging type, freight class, description of the goods and any special instructions.
