Common Questions

Air Freight Cargo FAQ

Frequently asked questions by overseas buyers and U.S. importers regarding our air forwarding capabilities.

What credentials does SHIPIT Logistics hold for air shipping?

SHIPIT Logistics is an IATA/CNS certified cargo agent (IATA/CNS# 01134480012) and a TSA-approved Indirect Air Carrier (IAC). We maintain strict operational compliance under federal safety rules and international aviation standards.

How can my company apply for TSA Known Shipper status?

As a TSA-licensed Indirect Air Carrier, SHIPIT Logistics can assist qualified commercial shippers in applying for TSA Known Shipper status. This designation allows your cargo to be loaded onto passenger flights, significantly expanding available routing options and speeding up delivery timelines.

What is the difference between consolidated (Consol) and Back-to-Back air freight?

Consolidated air freight (Consol) combines multiple shipments into a single airline ULD container on standard flight schedules to offer lower per-kilo freight rates. Back-to-back shipping assigns your specific shipment directly to its own Master Air Waybill (MAWB) for maximum speed and immediate flight placement.

Can you arrange destination customs clearance and delivery (DAP/DDP)?

Yes. Through our network of worldwide logistics agents built over 50 years, we provide complete destination customs clearance, import tax/duty handling, and door delivery under DAP (Delivered at Place) or DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms.
