Air freight to Puerto Rico: frequently asked questions

How much does air freight to Puerto Rico cost?+

Air cargo is priced by chargeable weight (the greater of actual and volumetric weight), urgency and destination fees. Approximate ranges from the current service: Small packages: $200 – $500. Final rate confirmed within one business day. Large cargo: custom pricing on request. IVU of 11.5% (10.5% state plus 1% municipal) applies to taxable goods brought into the island, and mainland-origin goods pay no import duty.

How long does air freight to Puerto Rico take?+

Typical transit: 1-3 days. We confirm the exact departure when you quote. Release depends on the Hacienda declaration (Modelo SC 2970) and the SURI release authorization (Modelo SC 2015).

Which airports in Puerto Rico does Interworld Freight serve?+

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN). SJU is the main air cargo gateway for express, pharma and high-value freight.

What paperwork is needed for air freight to Puerto Rico?+

US-origin cargo from the mainland needs no CBP entry and pays no duty, only a commercial invoice or bill of sale, a packing list and the air waybill. The importer files the Declaration of Imports (Modelo SC 2970) in Hacienda's SURI for all goods and receives release authorization SC 2015. IVU is 11.5% (10.5% Commonwealth plus 1% municipal). Foreign-origin goods are entered with CBP at HTS rates. We prepare all three for you, and any permits restricted commodities need are confirmed when you quote.

Is air or ocean freight better for shipping to Puerto Rico?+

Air to SJU suits urgent or high-value freight under about 2 CBM; LCL from Miami covers 2 to 15 CBM, and a 20ft FCL beats it above 15 CBM. Ocean freight from the mainland must sail on a Jones Act vessel (US-built, owned and flagged). The IWF published LCL rate is about $705 for 5 CBM / 1,500 kg (October 2026), excluding IVU. Many clients combine both: tell us your deadline and we quote the best mix.

Do I need to handle customs clearance for my shipment to Puerto Rico?+

Customs clearance is required, but Interworld Freight can manage the process for you, ensuring compliance with regulations. Mainland-origin cargo moves as domestic freight with no CBP entry, but every shipment needs a Hacienda import declaration in SURI; foreign-origin cargo is entered with CBP by a licensed customs broker.

What types of goods are ideal for air freight to Puerto Rico?+

Air freight is ideal for perishable goods, high-value items, urgent deliveries, and fragile cargo. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices fall under FDA rules, and Puerto Rico is a major life-sciences manufacturing location.

Can I track my air freight shipment to Puerto Rico?+

Yes, Interworld Freight offers tracking for all air shipments. Tracking follows the air waybill (AWB) number from departure to release at SJU.
