Quick answer
Choose air freight for speed and urgent or high-value goods; choose sea freight for heavy or bulky cargo where lower cost matters more than transit time.
Air freight
Fastest option for international cargo. Best for urgent, high-value or perishable goods. Costs more per kilo and is charged on chargeable weight.
Sea freight
Most economical for heavy and bulky cargo. Transit is longer, but the cost per kilo is much lower. Available as FCL (full container) or LCL (shared container).
Which should you choose?
- Urgent or valuable → air freight
- Heavy, bulky, not urgent → sea freight
- A mix → send essentials by air, the rest by sea
