Air freight to Juba
Intaccess moves air cargo from Istanbul, Dubai and Guangzhou to Juba International Airport, handling collection, consolidation, airline booking, customs clearance and delivery. Air freight is the right choice when the cargo is urgent, valuable, or small enough that sea freight's overland leg through Mombasa or Djibouti costs more time than it saves in money.

What we handle
We take responsibility for the shipment from the point we collect it to the point it reaches you in Juba. That means you deal with one company rather than a supplier, a forwarder, an airline, a customs broker and a driver separately.
- Collection from your supplier in Türkiye, the UAE or China
- Inspection and repacking where the supplier's packaging will not survive handling
- Consolidation with other cargo, so small shipments are not charged as though they filled an aircraft
- Airline booking and airway bill
- Export documentation at origin
- Customs clearance at Juba International Airport
- Release from the customs warehouse and final delivery
How air freight is priced
Air freight is charged on chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is the standard air-cargo calculation: length × width × height in centimetres, divided by 6,000. One cubic metre therefore bills as roughly 167 kg.
This is why light, bulky cargo — cushions, empty containers, packaging materials — costs far more to fly than its weight suggests, and why dense cargo such as machine parts or tinned goods is comparatively cheap. If you tell us dimensions as well as weight when you ask for a quote, you get an accurate figure the first time.
On top of the freight itself, a landed cost includes origin handling, the airway bill, security screening, destination handling, customs duty and clearance. We quote these separately rather than bundling them, so you can see what you are paying for.
What documents you need
South Sudanese customs will not release cargo without paperwork that matches it. The most common cause of delay is not the flight — it is an invoice that disagrees with the packing list.
- Commercial invoice showing the real transaction value
- Packing list with the contents, weight and dimensions of each carton
- Air waybill, which we issue
- Certificate of origin, where the goods or the duty rate require one
- Import permit or licence for regulated categories — pharmaceuticals, food, telecoms equipment, chemicals
- The consignee's tax identification and business registration
What cannot go by air
Airlines refuse or restrict a standard list of goods, and the restriction applies regardless of who books the shipment. Lithium batteries, aerosols, flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosives and magnetised material are all either forbidden or require dangerous-goods handling and declaration.
Tell us before you buy if your cargo includes any of these. A shipment stopped at origin screening is a delay; a shipment stopped because it was undeclared is a fine.
Frequently asked questions
How is air freight to Juba calculated?
On chargeable weight: the greater of the shipment's actual weight and its volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6,000. One cubic metre bills as approximately 167 kg. Give us both weight and dimensions and we can quote accurately.
Can you collect goods directly from my supplier?
Yes. We collect from suppliers in Türkiye, the UAE and China, inspect the cargo, and repack it where the supplier's packaging will not survive handling. You do not need to arrange anything at the origin end.
Do you handle customs clearance in Juba?
Yes. Clearance at Juba International Airport is part of the service, along with release from the customs warehouse and delivery. We hold an office at the airport customs warehouse.
What makes air freight cost more than expected?
Usually volume rather than weight. Light, bulky cargo is charged on its volumetric weight, so a large box of light goods can bill several times its actual weight. Dense cargo is comparatively cheap to fly.
Can I ship a small quantity, or is there a minimum?
Small shipments are consolidated with other cargo so you are not charged as though you filled an aircraft. Ask us about the current minimum for your origin.
What happens if my paperwork does not match the cargo?
Customs holds the shipment until it does. This is the most common cause of delay we see — an invoice that disagrees with the packing list. Send us the documents before the cargo moves and we will check them.
Tell us what you need to move
Send us the details — what the cargo is, roughly what it weighs and where it is coming from — and we will come back with a quote.
