International air freight is moving cargo overseas by aircraft — the fastest option for international shipping, and the most expensive. WTM Logistics provides international air freight coordination for Peace Region businesses through its freight transport service.
Moving cargo internationally involves far more coordination than domestic freight. Export documentation, commercial invoices, air carrier schedules, and destination customs requirements all have to line up.
What is required for international air freight?
Commercial invoice — documents the goods, their value, and the parties involved.
Export declaration — Canadian export documentation.
Air waybill — the shipping document issued by the air carrier.
Destination customs requirements — documentation and duties required by the destination country.
Product classification — the correct HS code for the goods.
How does international air freight work?
Freight is picked up from your Peace Region location and moved to the departure airport — typically Edmonton or Calgary. The air carrier transports it to the destination country. Customs clears the shipment at both ends.
How fast is international air freight?
Air freight typically moves from Alberta to international destinations in 2–7 days, depending on the destination, carrier schedule, and customs processing time.
How much does international air freight cost?
Air freight is priced by chargeable weight — the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight. It is significantly more expensive than ocean freight but justified when speed matters.
