Air Import and Export Shipments

We manage the full air shipment cycle: space booking with the airline, cargo pickup, inspection and consolidation in our warehouse, issuance of the air waybill, export clearance and tracking through to delivery at destination. For imports we run the reverse process, including Panamanian customs clearance and delivery to the client's door.

We work with multiple cargo airlines operating at Tocumen, which lets us offer rate and frequency alternatives rather than a single option. For urgent shipments we quote priority service with confirmed space.

  • General, urgent and high declared value cargo.
  • Consolidation of purchases made in the Colon Free Zone.
  • Issuance of master and house air waybills, plus export documentation.
  • Milestone tracking and arrival notification to the consignee.

Previously Quoted DAP & DDP Shipments

Many clients prefer a closed price with no surprises. Under DAP (Delivered at Place) we deliver the cargo to the agreed address in the destination country with all transport and handling costs included, leaving import duties and taxes to the buyer. Under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) we also cover those duties and taxes, so the consignee receives the cargo with nothing further to pay.

Both modes are quoted in advance based on weight, dimensions and the tariff description of the goods, letting you build the logistics cost into your selling price with precision.

  • Closed door-to-door price, with no surprise charges at destination.
  • Advance calculation of duties and taxes under DDP.
  • Ideal for B2B sales and regional e-commerce.
  • A single provider accountable for the entire chain.

Cargo Pickup and Delivery with Our Own Equipment

We operate our own units to collect and deliver cargo in Panama City, the Colon Free Zone and within the limits of the Republic of Panama. Running our own fleet lets us respond to last-minute changes, arrange same-day pickups and keep custody of the cargo without intermediaries.

  • Deliveries in Panama City, Tocumen and Panama Pacifico.

  • Closed units and box trucks depending on the type of goods.
