High operational complexityMultiple handling parties, security controls, customs steps and road collection arrangements require coordinated pre-alerts.

Strong Paris-area hinterlandSuitable for fashion, luxury goods, aerospace-related supply chains, pharmaceuticals, perishables and general commercial cargo.

Schedule-sensitive planningAcceptance cut-offs, truck availability, weekends, public holidays and customs inspections can materially affect the final transit plan.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) operates within a large airport logistics ecosystem. The exact warehouse, handling agent, service level and acceptance window depend on the booked airline, cargo terminal and appointed ground handler. Our service team confirms these details before issuing final shipping instructions.

General cargo handling: palletized and loose cargo acceptance, screening, build-up and breakdown are arranged through the airline or its handling agent.
Temperature-sensitive cargo: pharmaceutical, healthcare and perishable shipments require advance confirmation of cool-chain handover, packaging specifications and allowable transfer exposure.
Dangerous goods: acceptance is subject to IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, carrier approval, correct packing, labels, declarations and the handler’s local process.
Customs-controlled logistics: export, import, transit and temporary-storage arrangements depend on the cargo procedure, EORI-related information, commodity classification and customs instructions.
Special cargo: valuables, live animals, oversized pieces, aircraft parts and other restricted commodities require carrier pre-approval and dedicated handling instructions.

Routes & Transit Times

Common traffic directions: Asia–Europe, North America–Europe, Middle East–Europe and Africa–Europe flows are commonly evaluated through this gateway, with routing dependent on available capacity and carrier schedules.
Connection structure: Shipments may move on direct services, airline hub connections or interline arrangements. The fastest option is not always the most reliable when transfer points or special handling are involved.
Airline selection: Our team compares passenger-belly, freighter and consolidator solutions based on origin, destination, commodity, chargeable weight, dimensions and required delivery date.
Transit variables: Actual transit depends on flight availability, booking confirmation, cargo acceptance cut-off, security screening, customs status, handling capacity, truck collection and public holidays.

Transit times shown in quotations are planning estimates rather than guarantees. The final routing and operating schedule must be reconfirmed after booking, especially for DG, temperature-controlled, live-animal and oversized shipments.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Paris and Île-de-FranceHigh-density consumption, retail, e-commerce, corporate and distribution demand supports both import delivery and export consolidation.

Luxury and fashionGarments, accessories, samples, cosmetics and high-value commercial goods may require secure handling, accurate piece control and timed delivery.

Healthcare and life sciencesMedicines, diagnostic products and clinical materials require validated packaging, temperature instructions and documented handover controls.

Aerospace and industrial supply chainsAircraft parts, machinery components and urgent maintenance materials may require priority handling, precise dimensions and rapid customs coordination.

Perishables and food productsFresh produce, flowers and other perishables need pre-arranged acceptance, suitable packaging and close control of delivery and inspection timing.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Airline cargo cut-offs vary by flight, terminal, commodity and security status. Our team obtains the confirmed acceptance deadline and allows time for truck queues, screening and warehouse receipt.
Dangerous goods and restricted articles: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, packing instruction, quantity, labels, shipper’s declaration and safety information where applicable. Carrier acceptance remains subject to verification.
Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill data, export declaration and any licence, origin, health or product documents must be consistent. French and EU customs requirements depend on the movement and commodity.
Special handling: Temperature range, dry ice quantity, live-animal details, security status, piece dimensions and stacking restrictions should be declared before booking rather than at cargo drop-off.
Import collection: Release status, duties and taxes, customs inspection, terminal handling charges and truck appointment requirements may affect delivery. Consignee readiness should be confirmed before arrival.

Shipping Tips

Send the commercial invoice, packing list, dimensions, gross weight, commodity description and desired delivery date to our service team before requesting space.
For valuable, pharmaceutical, perishable, dangerous or oversized cargo, provide handling requirements at quotation stage so that carrier feasibility and packaging can be checked in advance.
Use export-grade packaging, mark every piece clearly and ensure the physical labels, invoice, packing list and air waybill show consistent shipper, consignee, quantity and commodity information.
When the primary routing is full or operationally unsuitable, our team can evaluate alternative departure airports, hub connections, split shipments or deferred services after checking customs and delivery implications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our shipment be delivered directly to Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) for export?

Usually, export cargo is delivered to the airline’s appointed cargo handler rather than to a passenger terminal. Our team provides the confirmed warehouse address, booking reference, acceptance window and security requirements after the airline confirms the shipment.

What information is needed to quote air freight through this airport?

We need origin, destination, commodity, number of pieces, dimensions, gross weight, chargeable-weight basis, cargo value, ready date and any DG, temperature, security or customs requirements. Incomplete data can lead to re-rating or acceptance delays.

How should pharmaceutical or temperature-sensitive cargo be arranged?

Provide the required temperature range, packaging type, coolant details, monitoring requirements and acceptable transfer exposure before booking. Our team checks carrier and handler feasibility, but actual service depends on the confirmed operating process.

Are dangerous goods accepted for every flight?

No. Acceptance depends on the commodity, packing, documentation, aircraft restrictions, carrier policy and available trained handling capability. A preliminary review and written carrier confirmation should be completed before delivery.

What commonly causes import delivery delays?

Typical causes include inconsistent invoice data, missing customs information, inspection, unpaid duties or terminal charges, unavailable consignee instructions, incorrect contact details and truck appointment constraints. Our service team monitors release and collection prerequisites.
