Air freight Vs. Sea freight – Which one should I choose?
Air freight is better for the fastest shipping method. But as it is fast, it is costly. We will suggest this shipping method if you are importing less than 300 Kg from China. If you are shipping more than that that will not be cost-effective for you.
One more thing with air freight you should consider – your product type. You can not ship certain products using air freight, such as lithium batteries. So, before choosing air freight, find whether the good is permitted to ship via air shipping mode.
On the other hand, sea freight is good for large volume products, and there are no restrictions for product types.
In short, air freight is good for low-volume goods, and sea freight is good for large volume goods.
