Sea or ir freight: How to choose the most cost-effective option

When planning an import, choosing between sea or air freight is a key decision. Each option has its advantages and drawbacks depending on volume, urgency, and budget.

At ComexPoint, we simplify this process: from one single platform, you can request quotes from multiple logistics providers, compare rates and transit times, and choose the option that best fits your needs and budget.

Sea freight: ideal for large volumes

Air freight: Speed above all

How to Choose the Right Option

The decision depends on several factors:

  • Cargo volume and weight: large volumes → sea freight; small or urgent shipments → air freight.
  • Available budget: consider the total cost of transport, insurance, and customs.
  • Delivery deadlines: urgency vs. advance planning.
  • Type of product: perishables, electronics, or time-sensitive goods → air freight; bulky or stable goods → sea freight.

With ComexPoint, you can:

  • Get quotes for both options from the platform and compare multiple operators.
