Shipping Cost from India to Japan by Air

When speed, reliability, and predictability are essential, air freight is the most efficient way to ship goods from India to Japan. Whether you're delivering high-value electronics, replenishing retail stock, or fulfilling time-sensitive B2B and eCommerce orders, air freight ensures your cargo arrives quickly and safely. At ASIANIA LOGISTIKA PRIVATE LIMITED, we manage the complete air shipping process — from pickup in India to delivery in Japan — with transparent pricing, end-to-end tracking, and full customs support.

How Air Freight from India to Japan Works

Shipping by air requires precision. We coordinate every step to minimize delays and avoid hidden costs.

Cargo Pickup & Packaging

We arrange pickup at your warehouse or supplier location and ensure packaging meets IATA and airline guidelines — reducing volumetric charges and avoiding repackaging delays.

Cargo Inspection & Weighing

Every shipment is measured and weighed to calculate chargeable weight — airlines charge by the higher of actual or volumetric weight.

Export Customs Clearance in India

We handle all export formalities, including commercial invoices, packing lists, airway bills, and HS code classification, to ensure smooth customs processing.

Flight Booking & Cargo Handling

We book space on direct or connecting flights from major Indian airports to key destinations in Japan based on your cargo's urgency and budget.

Import Clearance & Delivery in Japan

Our partners in Japan manage customs clearance and final delivery to your warehouse, distribution center, or fulfillment partner — including Amazon Japan or Rakuten.

What Affects the Air Shipping Cost?

d

Weight and Volume

Air freight is billed based on actual or volumetric weight — whichever is higher. Packaging optimization can significantly reduce cost.

d

Cargo Type

Dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive items, or restricted cargo may incur handling surcharges or require special documentation.

d

Service Level

Express services cost more but ensure faster delivery. Economy air freight is suitable for less urgent shipments.

d

Flight Routing

Direct flights (e.g., Delhi–Tokyo) are faster and cheaper. Routing through hubs like Bangkok or Singapore may increase time and cost.

Seasonal Demand

During Golden Week (Japan), Diwali (India), and Q4 holidays, demand spikes — leading to higher rates and limited space.
