Air Cargo FAQ

How is air freight cost calculated?
The tariff applies to chargeable weight — the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (L × W × H / 6000). The rate is multiplied by the chargeable weight.
Can lithium batteries be transported by air?
Yes, but with IATA restrictions. Batteries installed in devices ship as standard cargo. Standalone batteries require special packaging and IATA DGR Class 9 labelling.
What is the maximum piece weight for air cargo?
Standard pieces up to 150 kg. For heavy lift cargo, this is arranged individually with the airline.
How much does air freight per kg from China to Estonia cost?
Rates range from €3–6 per kg depending on volume, route and season. Minimum chargeable weight is usually 45 kg. Request a quote for an exact calculation.
