Hong Kong International Airport is one of the world’s busiest cargo airports, with multiple daily direct flights to London, Frankfurt, Paris, Dubai and Riyadh. The air service runs at two speeds: express for stock-outs and high-value samples, standard for launches and small to medium lots. Quotes include destination clearance and last-mile delivery; warehouse-arrival transit times are on each route page.

Volumetric weight and charging

Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ 6000, in centimetres). For light, bulky goods the volumetric figure is often higher; use the calculator on this site before dispatch to avoid surprises at settlement.

What must be declared in advance

  • Battery goods: built-in or packed lithium batteries need a UN38.3 test summary and MSDS, routed by packing instruction
  • Magnetic, liquid, powder and pressurised items need prior confirmation of acceptability
  • Branded goods need authorisation; counterfeits are refused

Peak-season capacity

Capacity is tight ahead of Black Friday, Christmas and Lunar New Year. Give us your expected dispatch date and volume and we plan space in advance; larger lots can move as full pallets.
