How long does air freight to Seychelles take?

Transit times depend on the country of origin, airline schedules and customs requirements. As a general guide: Dubai 2–4 days, South Africa 3–5 days, India 3–5 days, Europe 4–7 days and China 5–8 days. Kimbo Logistics continuously monitors your shipment and provides updates throughout the journey.

 

What is chargeable weight in air freight?

Air freight charges are based on whichever is greater: actual weight, the physical weight of the cargo, or volumetric weight, the amount of space the cargo occupies in the aircraft. The airline charges on the higher of the two values.

 

Can you clear cargo arriving on any airline?

Yes. Kimbo Logistics can arrange customs clearance for cargo arriving on all major airlines operating into Seychelles International Airport, regardless of the carrier used. Our team works directly with airlines, handling agents and customs authorities to ensure your cargo is released quickly and efficiently.

 

Do you offer delivery after customs clearance?

Yes. We provide complete airport-to-door logistics: cargo collection from the airport, customs clearance processing, duty and tax handling, and final delivery anywhere in Seychelles. This lets you focus on your business while we manage the logistics from arrival to final destination.

 

What documents are required for air cargo imports?

Most shipments require a Commercial Invoice, Packing List and Air Waybill (AWB), plus an Import Permit if applicable, a Certificate of Origin where applicable and, optionally, an Insurance Certificate. Additional permits may be required for food products, pharmaceuticals, plants, animals, chemicals and other regulated goods.

 

How quickly can customs clearance be completed?

Clearance times depend on the type of cargo and whether customs inspections are required. Non-inspected shipments can often be processed very quickly, while shipments selected for inspection may take longer. Kimbo Logistics works closely with customs authorities to minimise delays and expedite cargo release whenever possible.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes. Kimbo Logistics provides shipment updates throughout the transport process so you know where your cargo is at every stage, from departure airport to arrival and final delivery.

 

Can you handle dangerous goods?

Yes. Kimbo Logistics can coordinate the shipment and clearance of dangerous goods that comply with international air transport regulations. Examples include industrial chemicals, certain batteries, laboratory materials and some medical products. Dangerous goods require special packaging, labelling, declarations and airline approval before shipment can be accepted.

 

Do you handle perishable cargo?

Yes. Perishable goods are among the cargo types we handle. Air freight keeps time in transit short, and we check your documents in advance so the cargo can be cleared and delivered promptly after it lands. Food products and other regulated goods may need additional permits; our team will confirm what applies to your shipment.

 

What items cannot be transported by air?

Certain goods are prohibited or restricted under international aviation regulations. These may include explosives and fireworks, flammable liquids and gases, certain chemicals and corrosive materials, radioactive materials, counterfeit goods, some batteries and hazardous substances without proper packaging, and restricted wildlife products. Some dangerous goods can still be transported by air if they comply with IATA regulations and are correctly packaged and documented.

 

Why should I choose air freight instead of sea freight?

Air freight is the faster option: shipments typically arrive in days rather than weeks, which suits urgent, perishable and high-value cargo. Sea freight is usually the more economical choice for large, heavy or oversized shipments. Tell us what you are shipping and we will help you choose.
