Smart Shipping: Choosing Sea or Air Freight

Shipping goods internationally requires careful planning. The freight method you select will affect cost, speed, and risk. Here's how to make the right choice for your business.

  1. Compare Costs

Air Freight is faster but significantly more expensive.

Sea Freight is cost-effective for large, non-urgent shipments.

  1. Evaluate Delivery Time

Air freight is ideal for urgent orders.

Sea freight takes longer but is suited for bulk goods and cost savings.

  1. Consider Product Type

Fragile or perishable goods often need air freight.

Heavy or non-perishable products are perfect for sea freight.
