About Our Air Freight Service

Gxpresss UK provides international air freight forwarding and customs clearance across all 6 major UK cargo airports: London Heathrow (LHR), East Midlands (EMA), Manchester (MAN), Stansted (STN), Birmingham (BHX), and London Gatwick (LGW).

Headquartered at Harmondsworth, 5 minutes from Heathrow's cargo village, Gxpresss includes complete HMRC customs clearance at £0 (zero brokerage fee) on all Heathrow air freight consignments. We pre-lodge declarations into the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) and connect directly to CCS-UK inventory systems, achieving customs releases within 1 to 2 hours of flight arrival.

From temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals and AOG aircraft parts to high-value electronics and e-commerce express parcels, Gxpresss manages airline bookings, transit shed collections, and door-to-door distribution under a single accountable operations team.

Importers looking for air cargo from China to the UK, or comparing air freight companies and air freighters on price, usually find the quoted rate excludes clearance, transit shed handling and delivery. Ours does not. As an air freight forwarder five minutes from the Heathrow cargo village, we quote the flight, the handling and the customs entry together. At Heathrow the brokerage line is £0.

Air Freight Process

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our air freight services.

Air freight from China to the UK typically takes 3-5 days for standard service and 1-2 days for express service. Transit times can vary depending on the origin city, airline routing, and any customs processing requirements.

There is no strict maximum weight for air freight. We regularly handle shipments from small parcels to multi-tonne cargo. The key constraints are aircraft capacity and the dimensions of individual pieces. Send us your cargo details and we will work out the options.

Air freight is generally more expensive per kilogram than sea freight, but it is significantly faster. For time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable goods, air freight often provides better overall value when you factor in reduced inventory costs and faster market access.
