What You Need to Know About Air Freight to the Caribbean

Posted on July 5, 2018

One of the great benefits of the modern world is the sheer amount of connectivity we all share. 100 years ago, it would’ve been impossible to imagine being able to send cargo halfway across the world in a matter of days. It can sometimes be expensive, but there are a plethora of options available! Here are some things you should keep in mind when looking for air freight to the Dominican Republic, Bahamas or other Caribbean nations.

Shop Around

There’s no right answer to what the best shipping option is for air freight to the Dominican Republic. Try to get quotes from as many different air and ocean cargo freight companies as you can. Find out what company offers the best price and options to fit your accommodations. There are benefits to both direct transportation air freight and slower ocean freight, but for speed and a higher degree of safety for your cargo, air freight is the way to go.

A Booming Industry

The air freight industry was quickly approaching $100 billion annually as an industry back in 2013, and in 2018 the industry surpassed that mark. With the increasing prevalence of online shopping and companies like Amazon shipping items around the world, there are more cargo flights happening than ever before. American cargo shipping to Latin America, Europe or Asia is more affordable than it was in the past.

For Speedier Delivery, Choose Air Freight

If time is a concern, you have options. For an increased price, you can choose faster shipping, often 2-day or overnight delivery. Though it’s not always necessary, having the option available can be incredibly useful when you need it.

Be Aware of Company Policies and Restrictions

Because of their time sensitivity, air freight companies often have tighter control over the process. Make sure you’re fully aware of what restrictions your chosen company might have for any air freight to the Dominican Republic. If this is your first time shipping across borders, it can often be a process. Be ready for that!
