Air shipments move fast, so clearance has to keep up. Our team handles customs clearance at Queen Alia Airport the moment your cargo lands, so it doesn’t sit waiting. We manage the paperwork, duties, and release, then arrange delivery to your door in Amman or beyond.
How air cargo moves through Queen Alia International Airport
Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), south of Amman, is Jordan’s main international air cargo gateway. Inbound freight arrives at the airport cargo terminal, where it is recorded against the air waybill and held until Jordan Customs releases it. Outbound cargo goes through the same terminal for acceptance, security screening and loading.
A typical import follows this order:
- Pre-alert: the shipper sends the air waybill, commercial invoice and packing list before the flight.
- Arrival: the cargo is received and checked in at the cargo terminal.
- Declaration: the customs declaration is filed under the correct HS code.
- Inspection, where the shipment is selected, and any permits such as JFDA approval for food and pharma.
- Payment of duty and sales tax, release, and delivery to your door.
Most delays at the airport come from documents that arrive late or do not match the cargo, so it pays to send them before the flight lands. Air freight is priced on chargeable weight, the greater of actual and volumetric weight, which means light but bulky cargo can cost more than you expect. Check it with the volumetric weight calculator before you ask for quotes. If you are weighing speed against cost, the transit time estimator compares air with sea on your lane, and the air freight service page lists what we need to quote.
