Air Freight

Fast, fully managed air freight between the UK and the Far East. Import or Export – one team, one point of contact, one clear price.

Air Freight from the Far East to the UK

When speed matters, air freight is the answer. Whether you are managing a tight product launch window, replenishing stock after an unexpected spike in demand, or simply working with a supplier who lead times leave no room for a five week sea transit. Far East Shipping provides a reliable, fully managed air freight service from all major airports across the Far East and South Asia to the UK.

We arrange air freight on a complete door to door basis – from collection at your supplier’s premises through to delivery at your UK address – with UK import customs clearance included throughout. You deal with one team, receive one all inclusive price and never have to coordinate between multiple service providers.

Express and Standard Air Freight Options

We offer both express and standard air freight services, giving you the flexibility to balance speed against cost.

Express Air Freight – typically 1-2 days transit time from major Far East hubs to the UK. The fastest available option, suited to the most time critical consignments.

Standard Air Freight – typically 3-5 days transit time. More cost effective than express while still dramatically faster than sea freight.

Consolidated Air Freight – for smaller consignments, we can consolidate your cargo with similar shipments to reduce the cost per kilo whilst maintaining a fast transit time.

Our team will recommend the most appropriate service level based on your timeline, shipment volume and budget. We will always give you a clear comparison so you can make an informed decision.

Export Air Freight from the UK to the Far East

Whilst our primary focus is UK imports from the Far East, we also arrange export air freight services for UK businesses and individuals sending goods in the opposite direction. 

Whether you are a UK manufacturer supplying components to a Far East production facility, a business returning goods to an overseas supplier, or a company fulfilling orders to customers across Asia – we can arrange a fully managed export air freight service from the UK to your destination.

UK Export Documentation & Compliance

Exporting goods from the UK requires compliance with UK export controls and HMRC regulations. Depending on the nature of your goods, additional requirements may apply – including export licences for certain categories of controlled goods, certificates of origin and specific documentation required by the destination country’s customs authorities.

Our team will guide you through the documentation requirements for your specific export from the outset, ensuring your goods depart correctly declared and that nothing causes a delay or hold at destination customs. If your goods fall into a controlled or specialist category, we will advise you on the steps required before shipment.
