What is Hand-carry?

image Hand-Carry

Hand-carry is a delivery method by which our staff carries your shipment on a passenger aircraft as a checked baggage or a carry-on baggage and delivers it to its final destination.

When sending goods by regular international shipping, delivery time takes longer due to the time it needs to go through the sorting process at the delivery company. The shipment could also get stuck at customs (*1) from half a day to few days.

When delivered by hand-carry, we can shorten the delivery time by collecting the shipment at your desired location such as your office, factory or receiving it directly from you at the airport. At the airport in which the shipment is delivered, our hand-carry staff will go through customs clearance on that day (*2), which will enable the shipment to be delivered in a much shorter period of time.

Hand-carry is the best and fastest method for delivering goods.

(*1) Custom clearance is the process in which one declares the goods at customs and pay customs duties and sales tax in order to receive import permission.
(*2) Customs clearance procedures may differ according to customs law, the invoice price, and content of the package.
