Frequently asked questions

Air freight, answered

Straight answers on pricing, transit times, TSA screening, and door delivery through LAX.

How is air freight priced?

Air freight is billed on chargeable weight, which is the greater of actual weight or volumetric weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Rates vary by lane, service level, and fuel surcharges, so we quote all-in per shipment with screening and fees included upfront.

How fast is air freight from Asia to Los Angeles?

Direct express service typically delivers in 3 to 5 days door to door. Consolidated air freight runs 5 to 8 days depending on origin and flight schedules. We confirm routing and ETA at booking and track every flight milestone live.

What is the difference between express and consolidated air freight?

Express moves on the next available flight with priority handling, ideal for urgent or high-value cargo. Consolidated freight shares aircraft space with other shipments and cuts cost significantly when you can allow a few extra days. We recommend the right service at quote time.

Does my cargo need TSA screening?

Yes. All cargo tendered to passenger aircraft requires 100 percent TSA screening. As a TSA-certified Indirect Air Carrier, AEEM handles screening and chain-of-custody documentation in-house so your freight is flight-ready without third-party delays.

Can you ship lithium batteries or dangerous goods by air?

Yes, within IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. Lithium batteries, chemicals, and other regulated cargo require proper classification, packaging, and declarations, which we prepare and verify before tender. Some items are restricted to cargo-only aircraft.

Do you handle customs clearance and delivery?

Yes. Customs clearance is coordinated through licensed customs broker partners, including ISF and entry filing. Once released, our carrier network completes door delivery across Southern California and nationwide.
