## FAQ

**How long does air freight from UK to France take?**
Express: 1 day, Standard: 1-2 days, Economy: 2-3 days (airport-to-airport). This is one of the shortest air freight routes in Europe. Ground transport via Eurotunnel (1 day) is a cost-effective alternative for non-urgent cargo.

**Do I need customs clearance for UK to France air freight?**
Yes — since Brexit, UK-France shipments require customs declarations, import duties, and VAT. Customs brokerage adds €75–€150 per entry. EU-origin goods may qualify for preferential rates under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

**Is air freight or road freight cheaper for UK to France?**
For shipments over 500 kg, road freight via Eurotunnel or ferry is typically 40-60% cheaper (€1.00-€1.50/kg vs €2.50-€4.00/kg by air). Below 100 kg, air freight is competitive due to minimum charges on road shipments. Express air wins for urgent next-day deliveries.
