We’ve faced this exact situation with exporting industrial drones to clients in Asia and South America. Sea freight was too slow, and traditional couriers couldn’t handle bulk equipment with batteries and compliance docs. We ended up working with Sea Gate Logistic, and honestly, their airfreight service gave us full control. They planned everything from pickup at our manufacturing hub, to flight selection, to customs clearance on both sides. When we had trouble with dangerous goods classification (due to lithium batteries), their compliance officer helped us get the right packaging and labeling. They also made sure all docs — commercial invoice, packing list, MSDS — were in the right format to avoid delays. Best part? They consolidated two of our outgoing shipments into one pallet, saving us on cost without compromising timing. Everything arrived in under 5 days from Europe to Cape Town, fully tracked. If speed and coordination matter, Sea Gate is more than just an air cargo handler — they manage the entire logistics process around it.
