FAQ
How early to book air freight from Shanghai PVG/SHA?
General cargo: book with YuCargo 2–5 days ahead; perishables, pharma temp-control or show-critical freight need earlier locks plus inspection buffer. Rates and fuel surcharges confirmed in writing.
How is air chargeable weight calculated?
Carriers take the greater of actual vs volumetric weight; volumetric often uses cm dimensions/6000. YuCargo can re-measure after receipt so chargeable weight is agreed before uplift.
Which air shipments need extra documents or restrictions?
Lithium batteries, magnetics, DG, animal/plant-origin and some foods face airline and border limits—MSDS, test reports or quarantine certs may be required. Send commodity, UN number and packing for review before booking.
Can YuCargo air freight combine with door-to-door or ATA shows?
Yes—air can link pickup, destination airport clearance and ATA temporary admission for exhibitions. Share flight window, venue address and temporary-admission needs for one written quote.
