When you have selected Air Freight as your desired method for transporting goods, there are container options to consider.
At Complete Freight we will assist and advise you as to which container, otherwise known as a Unit Load Device (ULD) to use.
Different ULD’s suit different products, and our years of experience has given us great knowledge in this area. The tables below should be used as a guide only, as other variables apply such as the rules and regulations subject to each individual airline. Contact us for a completely stress free experience – we can handle the whole process for you.
