AIRPORTS AND DELIVERY

Northern and southern France need different onward plans. A Paris airport quote can require a substantial road leg for delivery near Marseille. Prepare the commodity description, package count, gross weight and external packed dimensions. Commercial cargo normally needs invoice and packing details; have the receiving agent confirm the documents for your shipment. Declare batteries, liquids and restricted contents before quoting.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Air freight to France: FAQs
What affects the price?
A 50 kg chargeable shipment on the New York–Paris Charles de Gaulle example has a planning allowance of EUR 425–550 for main air transport. At 300 kg chargeable, the standard-cargo allowance is EUR 2,550–3,300. The airline uses chargeable weight, which can exceed scale weight for bulky pieces. Your complete quote also depends on acceptance, security handling and the collection and delivery services required.
Which transport option should I choose?
The choice depends on dimensions, weight, contents and handling requirements. The options above describe different service scopes, not interchangeable prices. Provide accurate measurements and your preferred date so we can assess the suitable equipment. Acceptance is confirmed before booking.
How long does transport take?
For France, the main transport time must be distinguished from collection, consolidation, clearance and delivery. Flight availability, security screening, connections and release must be checked for the requested date; no fixed transit promise is made. We will confirm the itinerary and expected handover window with the proposal. Do not schedule a final delivery solely from a vessel or flight arrival estimate.
Can I arrange collection and delivery?
Yes, request the legs you need and provide complete addresses. For Paris Charles de Gaulle, tell us whether handover is at a terminal, depot or private address. Access and unloading requirements affect the scope. The quote will say which legs are included.
What documents and preparation are needed?
Northern and southern France need different onward plans. A Paris airport quote can require a substantial road leg for delivery near Marseille. Prepare the commodity description, package count, gross weight and external packed dimensions. Commercial cargo normally needs invoice and packing details; have the receiving agent confirm the documents for your shipment. Declare batteries, liquids and restricted contents before quoting.
What is excluded from the example prices?
Indicative main-air-transport allowances in EUR, based on EUR 8.50–11 per chargeable kg. These are planning examples, not airline quotes or door-to-door totals. Collection, screening, terminal handling, customs, taxes, insurance and delivery are included only if stated. Vehicles, dangerous goods, oversized and temperature-controlled cargo need separate assessment. Terminal costs, taxes, insurance and local transport must be checked separately against the written quote.
Can I ship in the opposite direction?
Yes, you can request either direction. The receiving country, contents and handover requirements determine the documentation and available service. An outward price does not automatically apply to the return journey. Swap the origin and destination in the form for a separate assessment.
Does my request confirm a booking?
No. Your request lets us check cargo, routing and services. We will respond within 24 hours, but a booking requires an accepted proposal and confirmed availability. Do not deliver cargo to a terminal until the handover instructions are confirmed.
