Air Freight to United Kingdom

6 to 10 days door to door, depending on the US origin and available flight. The direct Miami–Europe air leg is about 8-9 hours; the rest is pickup, consolidation and customs clearance.

As a reference, shipments around 100 kg run about $7.25–$9.67/kg and around 500 kg about $2.47–$3.29/kg. These are indicative rates from public route calculators, not a firm quote: the final price depends on chargeable weight, urgency and cargo type.

Heathrow (LHR), which handled 1.5M+ tonnes in 2025 (+0.8% year on year) (aircargonews.net, Heathrow cargo volumes 2025). We also work with Manchester (MAN).

It clears through HMRC customs, a UK EORI number and, since Brexit, a full import declaration on every shipment. We prepare the air waybill (AWB), commercial invoice and packing list, and coordinate clearance with HMRC at both ends.

All kinds, but mostly urgent or high-value cargo: London's finance, pharma and luxury retail sectors move a lot of urgent, high-value air cargo.

Carriers only accept limited liability for loss or damage, capped per kilo or per package under international conventions, so the freight rate is not full cover. Cargo insurance is a separate policy based on the cargo value: under CIF and CIP the seller buys it, under other Incoterms the buyer decides. Tell us the cargo value when you request the quote and coverage is settled before booking.
