In today’s global marketplace, businesses of all sizes will need to rely upon air freight imports to move their goods quickly and efficiently. However, navigating the complexities of international air freight can be daunting, especially for those lacking expertise in this field.
That’s where Platinum® comes in. As a leading air freight import customs clearance service provider, Platinum® offers a range of benefits to help businesses simplify the process and achieve their logistics goals.
Overview of Air Freight Cargo Imports:
Before diving into the specific benefits of working with Platinum® for your air freight cargo imports, it’s important to understand the import process.
Air freight imports go through several stages, including your overseas supplier arranging the booking, packaging, sending your goods and completing the export clearance before the goods travel as air cargo. On the flip side, you are, in most cases, responsible for arranging the air freight customs clearance in New Zealand, paying the taxes and having the goods collected from the airline terminal as soon as possible to avoid storage costs.
Platinum® always aims to pre-clear air cargo before the goods arrive in New Zealand; we would clear your goods through the New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).
Platinum® can pre-clear your cargo before arrival if you and your overseas supplier are able to provide the paperwork for the cargo before the goods depart from overseas. The airline terminals in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch generally only allow 24 hours before storage commences.

Customised Solutions
One major benefit of working with Platinum® is our honesty in providing you with our industry opinion. For example, Platinum® will assess 1) the kilograms of the cargo, 2) the measurements of your cargo, 3) the value of the goods and 4) the time-sensitivity of your goods; before giving you our honest opinion as to whether the goods may be better suited to travel as express courier air freight, general air cargo or even as sea freight cargo.
