Door-to-Door Services by Air

China to India in 7–12 Days — All-Inclusive Air Logistics. The fastest way to get your goods from a Chinese factory to your Indian doorstep. Pickup, air freight, customs, duty, delivery — everything handled.

SECTION 1

Complete Air Import — Explained Simply

Door-to-door air import means C2I Logistics manages your entire shipment via air freight — from the moment goods leave your Chinese supplier's factory to the moment they're delivered to your address in India.

Unlike standard freight forwarding where you manage multiple agencies, our door-to-door service is all-inclusive. One team, one price, one timeline — you don't coordinate with anyone else.

This service is specifically designed for importers who need speed. Air freight is 3–5x faster than sea freight, making it ideal for urgent orders, high-value products, trending items that need to hit the market quickly, or regular restocking when you're running low on inventory.
