Air Freight from China
DG Air Freight, Battery Cargo & Commercial Air Shipping

HKGSZXCANDG air freight✓ UN38.3✓ MSDS
We arrange air cargo shipments from Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou to international destinations, with export customs clearance, dangerous goods documentation and airline coordination handled according to the cargo requirements.
For battery and DG shipments, the shipping method is selected after reviewing the product, UN classification, battery specifications, packaging and destination requirements.
Typical transit time is confirmed per shipment and subject to routing — not a fixed promise.
Dangerous goods
DG Air Freight from China
Dangerous goods require more than simply booking an ordinary air cargo shipment. Our DG air freight service is designed for shipments that require additional classification, documentation, packaging or airline acceptance procedures.
Before booking, we review the cargo information and determine the applicable shipping requirements — this reduces the risk of cargo rejection during airline acceptance.

Lithium Battery Air Freight
Lithium battery shipments are one of the most important areas of our air freight service. Depending on the battery type and configuration, shipments may require information such as:
UN numberBattery chemistryWatt-hour rating (Wh)Lithium contentBattery modelNumber of cellsQuantityNet weightPackaging detailsUN38.3 Test SummaryMSDS/SDSOther DG documents
IATA states that lithium and sodium-ion batteries can be transported by air depending on their configuration and applicable limits, while the exact requirements depend on the shipment. We review the available battery information before selecting an appropriate air freight solution.

Origins
Air Freight from Shenzhen and Guangzhou
Cargo163 is based in Shenzhen and works with export cargo from major manufacturing areas in South China.
Shenzhen air freight — one of China's major manufacturing and export centers, a practical origin for electronics, batteries, consumer products and industrial cargo.
Guangzhou air freight — another major South China cargo gateway with extensive international connections.
Depending on the shipment, we compare available routing options from Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The objective is not simply the cheapest flight, but matching the cargo with a workable combination of cargo + airline + DG requirements + destination + transit time + cost.

Comparison
DG Air Freight vs Standard Air Freight
Not every shipment should be booked as ordinary air cargo.
| Cargo type | Typical consideration |
|---|---|
| General commercial cargo | Standard air freight |
| Electronics without regulated batteries | Standard air freight may be possible |
| Products containing lithium batteries | Battery/DG review required |
| Standalone lithium batteries | Specific air cargo requirements |
| Energy storage systems | Detailed DG review |
| Dangerous goods | DG classification & airline acceptance |
| Urgent commercial cargo | Priority air freight options |
The exact transportation method depends on the cargo classification and current airline requirements. For example, IATA's 2026 battery guidance notes that lithium and sodium-ion batteries are subject to dangerous-goods requirements, although some shipments may qualify for different provisions depending on their configuration.

Important Air Freight Notice
Air transportation of dangerous goods and lithium batteries is subject to international regulations as well as airline, airport, state and destination-specific requirements. Cargo acceptance is not guaranteed simply because a product has been shipped previously. Requirements may vary according to product classification, UN number, battery configuration, Wh rating, packaging, documentation, origin, destination, airline, routing and current regulations. Cargo163 will review the shipment information before confirming an air freight solution.
