They need to go through all kinds of complicated formalities, especially for goods involving health and safety. They also need to go through strict inspection and quarantine.

The number of goods should be accurate before the goods arrive at the airport! This relates to the warehousing speed and the workload of the airport. Generally, the number of pieces provided by the owner is not accurate, so the operator can confirm the exact number of pieces again after the goods are delivered or as soon as possible. The accuracy of the number of pieces affects the validity of the air freight labels. ­
