Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about the service that you may have questions about

What air freight services does SGK Global provide?

SGK Global arranges international air freight forwarding from Houston and other U.S. gateways to destinations worldwide, with particular specialization in Nigeria and West Africa. As an IATA-affiliated agent, SGK books general air cargo, expedited and express shipments, consolidated air freight, oversized air cargo, dangerous goods by air, and temperature-sensitive shipments. We manage the full process including airline booking, export documentation, terminal handling, and coordination with destination customs brokers.

How long does air freight from Houston to Lagos take?

Air freight transit time from Houston to Lagos depends on routing, airline schedules, available capacity, and whether the service is standard or expedited. Direct or single-stop routings typically move cargo in 3 to 7 business days. Connecting flights through European or Middle Eastern hubs can extend transit time. SGK confirms the expected transit time for your specific shipment at the time of booking and provides flight tracking throughout.

Can SGK ship dangerous goods by air?

Yes. SGK Global arranges the shipment of dangerous goods by air in accordance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, including flammable liquids, corrosives, compressed gases, lithium batteries, and other regulated hazard classes. Our team is trained to identify the correct UN packaging specification, prepare the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods, and apply the required hazard labels and markings. Subject to carrier and aircraft acceptance.

Why use an IATA-affiliated agent for air freight?

IATA affiliation indicates that a freight forwarder is recognized within the established air cargo system and is authorized to issue an Air Waybill, book cargo directly with airlines, and access IATA settlement systems. For the shipper this means faster booking, accurate documentation, and direct accountability between the forwarder and the airline. Cargo moving through non-IATA forwarders typically rides under a third party's AWB, adding handoffs and reducing visibility.

Does SGK offer expedited or time-critical air freight?

Yes. SGK Global offers expedited and time-critical air freight for shipments that must move on the fastest available routing. This includes next-flight-out service from Houston, dedicated charters for oversized or high-value cargo, and onboard courier for high-priority documents or parts. Expedited shipments receive priority booking, priority terminal handling, and live status updates — call our Houston office for same-day dispatch on urgent shipments.
