Germany is Europe's largest economy and home to Frankfurt Airport (FRA), one of the world's busiest air cargo hubs. This makes Germany a key point on global air freight routes, both as a final destination and as a major transit hub for onward distribution across Europe.
FORW coordinates air freight to Germany from any global origin, handling imports, exports, and cross-trade movements. One dedicated contact manages the full shipment from booking through to delivery.
Air freight to Germany typically arrives within 1-3 business days from most European origins, and 3-6 business days from intercontinental origins, depending on routing.
FORW handles air freight to Germany in all directions. We coordinate imports into Germany from any origin worldwide, exports out of Germany to any destination, and cross-trade movements where Germany is the origin or final destination.
For non-EU origins, customs clearance into Germany is required. FORW manages this through established customs partners, with documentation coordinated from the outset of the shipment.
Frankfurt Airport handles a significant share of European air cargo volume, making it a natural transit point for shipments entering Europe or connecting to onward destinations.
If your shipment is routing through Germany or you need onward distribution from a German hub, FORW can coordinate the full chain including the German leg.
We coordinate a range of cargo on the Germany corridor, including:
Germany is an EU member state. Shipments from within the EU do not require import or export customs declarations. For shipments from outside the EU, full customs clearance is required upon entry into Germany.
FORW manages all customs documentation and coordinates with German customs partners where needed. See our customs clearance overview for more detail.
