Whether you are moving a single carton of samples, a pallet of spares or a full unit load device, our air export desk books directly with the carriers serving Barcelona (BCN) transit. We hold weekly allocation with scheduled combination carriers and dedicated freighter operators, which means your cargo is not left waiting for space during peak season. Every booking is confirmed with the airline reference, cut-off time and the exact chargeable weight, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Chargeable weight for Andorra shipments is calculated on the IATA volumetric divisor of 6,000 — length x width x height in centimetres divided by 6,000 — and the airline charges on whichever is greater, actual or volumetric. Our team re-measures and re-weighs your consignment at our East Tilbury facility before departure and tells you immediately if the numbers differ from your booking, giving you the chance to repack rather than absorb an unexpected uplift.
We handle the full UK export formality: customs entry, commercial invoice and packing list checks, EORI validation, dangerous goods declarations where required, and the air waybill itself. On arrival in Andorra we can nominate a bonded agent to complete import clearance, settle duties on your behalf and arrange onward road delivery, or simply release the cargo to your own broker at Barcelona (BCN) transit.
For time-critical freight we offer next-flight-out and on-board courier options, and for repeat traffic we can build a standing schedule with fixed weekly cut-offs. Perishables, pharmaceuticals and temperature-sensitive goods are booked on active or passive cold chain solutions with airline temperature monitoring throughout the journey to Andorra.
Packing matters more on an aircraft than it does at sea. Cargo bound for Andorra travels on roller beds, is turned, tipped and stacked in the hold, and must survive pressure and temperature changes at altitude. We supply export-grade cartons, ISPM15-compliant timber cases, edge protection, shrink wrap and corner boards, and we build to the aircraft's usable pallet dimensions so you are not paying for dead space above the contour.
Air freight is quoted airport to airport as standard, but most customers to Andorra take a door-to-door price. That includes collection from any UK postcode, our terminal handling, screening and airline fees, the freight itself, arrival handling at Barcelona (BCN) transit, import clearance and final road delivery. We set it out line by line in writing so you can see exactly where the money goes and drop anything you would rather arrange locally.
Insurance is strongly recommended. The airline's liability under the Montreal Convention is limited to roughly 22 SDR per kilo, which for most commercial cargo is a fraction of its real value. Our all-risk marine and air cargo policy covers your consignment warehouse to warehouse at 1.5% of the declared CIF value, with a minimum premium, and is arranged before the goods leave the UK.
