Stansted Air Freight FAQ

Common questions about air freight customs clearance at Stansted.

Stansted handles a mix of express courier freight (DHL, Amazon Air), charter cargo (often for time-critical, large, or unusual goods), belly-hold cargo on scheduled passenger services, and general air freight. Gxpresss covers all cargo types.

For express, e-commerce, or charter shipments, Stansted can offer faster processing times than Heathrow due to less cargo complexity and competition. For high-value belly-hold cargo on long-haul routes, Heathrow typically offers more flight options and carrier choice. Gxpresss can advise on the best routing for your specific cargo.

Yes, e-commerce customs at Stansted is a growing area of our work. For B2C parcels and low-value e-commerce consignments, we ensure IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) and standard UK customs requirements are met, providing the clean customs data that express carriers need.

For charter cargo, Gxpresss coordinates directly with the charter operator to receive cargo manifests and commercial invoices before the aircraft arrives. We file the customs entry in advance, attend examination if required, and instruct collection immediately upon clearance — typically within hours.

Stansted has direct M11 motorway access, connecting to the M25 and central London in approximately 60-75 minutes. It is well positioned for City of London deliveries and for the Essex and Hertfordshire business corridors.
