FAQs
Electronics shipping questions
Still have questions? Our team is ready to help.
What is the best way to ship high-value electronics?
Air when launch dates or value per kilo favor speed. Ocean FCL or LCL for planned stock. Every quote compares both with carrier reliability ratings.
Is electronics freight insured?
Cargo insurance is optional and quoted at booking, so you can add it to high-value shipments before they move.
Can you ship devices with lithium batteries?
Yes, when declared in advance. Lithium batteries are regulated as dangerous goods. Send the battery type, watt-hour rating and packaging details to our team before you book.
What are the rules for shipping lithium batteries by air?
Air transport follows IATA dangerous goods rules. Fully regulated batteries need UN3480 or UN3481 documentation and a shipper declaration. Some smaller batteries qualify for reduced Section II requirements when properly packed.
Can lithium batteries ship by ocean?
Yes under IMDG Code. Declare the battery chemistry, state of charge and packaging before booking so the carrier assigns the correct stowage and documentation.
What electronics cannot ship internationally?
Sanctioned destinations, undeclared dangerous goods and certain radio-frequency devices without FCC authorization can be held or refused. Declare batteries, encryption features and dual-use controls before you book.
How much does it cost to ship electronics internationally?
Price depends on lane, weight, dimensions and mode. High-value, low-weight shipments often favor air. Enter your shipment details for side-by-side air and ocean rates.
Can I track high-value shipments?
Yes. Air and ocean shipments show on a map in your account, with automated email status alerts.
Can we connect our own systems?
Yes. The open API covers quoting, booking and tracking, with a test environment on request.
