Real waybill cargo
Shipments We Actually Handle
Textiles are bread-and-butter for our lanes. The products below are typical of the cartons we consolidate every week.
Knitwear & garments
Sweaters, T-shirts, hoodies and knit pieces compressed and folded to keep carton weight up.
Scarves & wraps
Woven and printed scarves, light but valuable — fast transit protects season timing.
Socks & hosiery
Dense, compact cartons of socks that bill almost entirely on actual weight.
Underwear & basics
Briefs, boxers and thermal wear in standard export cartons.
Small general cargo
Alongside apparel we consolidate other small carton goods to fill the pallet.
Why air
Why Textiles Fit Air Freight
Apparel economics are time-sensitive: a cap collection that misses a season loses most of its value, while air freight on dense cartons costs far less per kilo than people expect.
Yiwu and Shenzhen are the natural origins for caps, socks and knitwear, and our warehouse there consolidates small supplier deliveries into one master shipment. Instead of paying for five separate carton bookings, we merge them, weigh and dimension the total, and quote a single 100kg+ bulk rate. Buyers running e-commerce brands also use this lane for fast restocks into Ukraine, Poland and the UK, and we can ship DDP so duties and VAT are settled before the carton reaches the warehouse door.
Compresses well
Soft goods pack tight. A well-packed carton of caps or socks reaches 180–250 kg/m³, so volumetric weight stays close to actual weight — you are not paying for empty air.
Fast = sell faster
4–7 working days door-to-door means replenishment, pop-up stock and new drops arrive while demand is still hot, instead of after a 35–45 day sea voyage.

FAQ
Textile Shipping Questions
Why are textiles and apparel a good fit for air freight?
Textiles compress well, so chargeable weight stays close to actual weight, and fast 4–7 day delivery protects fashion season timing versus slow sea transit.
How should baseball caps and clothing be cartoned for air freight?
Inner poly bags by colour/style, strong export cartons, no bulging, and labels with style and quantity. Over-stuffed cartons inflate volumetric weight for free.
Are there any customs rules for importing textiles?
Normal duties and (EU/UK) VAT apply; DDP bookings settle them for you. Counterfeit or unlicensed branded goods are never accepted — see what can I ship and the customs guide.
