China Air Union provides freight forwarding services from Beijing to Singapore and South Africa
In March 2024, China Air Union received a cargo transportation demand from an important customer and designated China Air Union to provide freight forwarding services to export the goods by air to South Africa. Faced with oversized and overweight goods, China Air Union provided a solution for them in the first time.

-Volume: 12.54CBM
-Size: Single wooden crate 330x190x100CM

3、 Operational difficulties
(1). The goods require high timeliness and cannot be delivered in batches to South Africa.
(2). The value of the goods is relatively high.
(3). The single item of goods is overweight, and the outer packaging size of the wooden box is too long to be loaded on normal boards. Therefore, it needs to be transported on extra long boards. In addition, the number of cargo flights has decreased after the Spring Festival, making it difficult to allocate suitable space.
(4). Just after the Spring Festival, there are fewer trucks and insufficient transportation capacity.
4. (1)After receiving the customer's order instructions, China Air Union first booked the pickup vehicle according to the customer's requirements and cargo information, confirmed the cargo flight space with the airline, applied for the allocation of extra long board transportation, and promptly fed back the pickup time and booking information to the domestic factory to arrange subsequent pickup and shipment.
(2). Due to the factory's self declaration of the declaration list, China Air Union provided the factory with the exit customs and port information in advance, informing them to reserve customs clearance personnel.
(3)After the goods were released, due to an error by the factory customs clearance personnel, the arrival information was filled in incorrectly. However, the experienced professional customs clearance team of China Air Union promptly searched for a solution, and the goods were able to pass the customs clearance procedure smoothly and catch the scheduled flight in a timely manner.
(4)Finally, the goods arrived at the port smoothly.
Through the above operations, China Air Union has successfully fulfilled the customer's important freight needs, especially in the face of various complex situations, timely solved the allocation of extra long cargo slots, locked in the core space of cargo flights, and ensured the safe and rapid transportation of goods to South Africa.
