- Secure Handling for Precision Tools – Proper packaging and cargo security measures protect fragile and expensive tool holders.
- Reliable Customs Clearance – Air shipments undergo priority customs processing, reducing the risk of delays.
For manufacturers and suppliers dealing with high-value, precision machining parts, air freight is the most effective transport solution.
Cargo Preparation & Secure Packaging
Reinforced Packing for Fragile Tool Holders
Tool holders are precision-engineered components, often made from high-grade steel or carbide materials, making them both expensive and delicate. To prevent shipping damage, scratches, or misalignment, the following packaging precautions were taken:
- Heavy-Duty Corrugated Cartons – Thick-layered boxes resistant to compression and handling pressure.
- Shockproof Cushioning – Foam inserts to prevent movement during transit.
- Moisture-Resistant Wrapping – Protected against humidity and condensation that could lead to rust or corrosion.
- Clear Labeling – HS Code 8466100000 included for faster customs clearance.
Each carton was reinforced and sealed with tamper-proof security tape, ensuring that the tool holders arrived in pristine condition at their final destination.
Export Documentation & Customs Compliance
To facilitate a smooth export and import process, all required customs documentation was prepared in advance. This ensured minimal clearance time and avoided potential regulatory issues.
Key Documents for Air Freight
- Commercial Invoice – Provided a detailed breakdown of product descriptions, unit prices, and HS Code (8466100000).

- Airway Bill (AWB) – Tracked the shipment and provided real-time updates to the client.
- Export Declaration (China Customs) – Ensured compliance with Chinese export regulations.

By pre-submitting all documents, customs processing at both departure and arrival locations was completed within hours, ensuring the shipment did not face any delays.
