Domestic & International Air Cargo Services in Mumbai
Shiv Guru Cargo arranges air cargo from Mumbai for personal and commercial shipments, both within India and to destinations worldwide, subject to shipment, destination and acceptance requirements. Domestic air cargo generally starts from around 2 kg, with door-to-door or airport-to-airport movement. International air cargo can be arranged from around 0.5 kg (500 g), depending on the shipment, destination and acceptance requirements, with door-to-door service, documentation guidance and support around the customs process.
When Air Cargo Makes Sense
Air is usually chosen when time matters. It may be a commercial consignment that needs to reach another city or country quickly, or a personal shipment you want at the other end sooner.
That said, air is not automatically the right answer for every shipment. Whether it works depends on the route, what the cargo is, its weight and dimensions, and whether the airline or carrier will accept it. For international shipments, the destination country's rules matter too. For some domestic consignments, road or rail turns out to be the more practical choice, and we would rather tell you that upfront.
When you book with us, one team handles the stages we are responsible for: collecting the shipment, handing it over for air movement and arranging delivery or collection at the destination. The flight, the airline's schedule, carrier acceptance, airport procedures and, for international shipments, customs processes are outside our control, so we do not promise fixed transit times.
Domestic Air Cargo Across India
We arrange domestic air cargo from Mumbai to eligible destinations across India, based on the air routes and service arrangements available for each shipment. Not every location has direct air connectivity, so the exact routing and delivery arrangement are confirmed when we check your shipment. Inbound domestic movements within India can also be arranged where suitable.
Door-to-Door Air Cargo
We collect the shipment from your address, arrange the air movement and deliver it at the destination, subject to route and location.
Airport-to-Airport Cargo
If you would rather drop off or collect the shipment at the airport yourself, domestic airport-to-airport movement is also available for personal and commercial shipments. There is no 100 kg minimum for domestic airport-to-airport movement. Which option suits you depends on the shipment and the route.
Personal and Commercial Shipments
Eligible personal goods and belongings can move by air when you need them at the other end sooner, and eligible business consignments can move by air within India.
Domestic Excess Baggage
This is not your airline ticket's baggage allowance. It is extra luggage that you send separately as air cargo within India, instead of checking it in on your flight. It is booked and moved as a cargo shipment.
Documents
Documents can also be sent through the domestic air cargo service where appropriate.
How Much Can Go by Air?
Domestic air cargo can generally be arranged from around 2 kg onwards. Larger consignments can also be discussed depending on the shipment, route, acceptance and available capacity.
How Much Can Go by Air Within India?
Domestic air cargo can be handled from approximately 2 kg onwards. There is no fixed overall maximum, and larger consignments can be discussed. Whether they can move depends on the shipment, the route, airline or carrier acceptance and the capacity available.
It helps to keep two figures separate: the total weight of the shipment and the weight of each individual box. A shipment can weigh well over 100 kg in total. However, if any single box or package weighs more than approximately 100 kg, additional handling charges may apply to that piece. If you have heavy individual pieces, mention them when you ask for a quote so the charges are clear from the start.
International Air Cargo from Mumbai
For shipments going abroad, we arrange international air cargo from Mumbai to destinations worldwide, subject to shipment, destination and acceptance requirements. International air cargo can be arranged from around 0.5 kg (500 g), depending on the shipment, destination and acceptance requirements. Both personal and commercial shipments are accepted, and door-to-door service is available.
Every country has its own import rules, and some goods that move freely within India may be restricted elsewhere. That is why we check each international shipment, what it contains and where it is going, before confirming the booking. For smaller parcels and documents going abroad, you can also see our international courier service in Mumbai.
International Door-to-Door
We collect the shipment, arrange the air movement and coordinate delivery at the destination address, subject to the destination and the shipment's acceptance. International door-to-door is available for personal and commercial shipments from around 0.5 kg (500 g), subject to shipment, destination and acceptance requirements.
Airport-to-Airport for Commercial Shipments
International airport-to-airport movement is available only for commercial shipments, with a minimum of 100 kg. This 100 kg minimum applies only to the international airport-to-airport option. It does not apply to international door-to-door shipments, personal international shipments or domestic air cargo. The exact handling and collection arrangement at the destination airport is confirmed for the shipment before booking.
Documentation and Customs Support
International shipments need the right paperwork. We help customers understand the documentation required for the shipment and provide guidance and coordination around the customs process. Exact requirements depend on the contents, shipment type and destination country.
Pickup from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane

Packing or repacking support can be arranged where required, depending on the shipment. Let us know if you need it when you ask for a quote. For international shipments, suitable packing also helps the shipment move through handling and inspection without problems.
What We Need to Know
A useful quote depends on a few details:
- where the shipment is being picked up and where it needs to go
- what the cargo is
- how many packages there are and roughly what they weigh
- dimensions, if any piece is large or oddly shaped
- whether it is a personal or commercial shipment
- whether it needs packing or repacking
- whether you want door-to-door or airport-to-airport movement
For international shipments, also share the destination country and city, a description of the contents and any documents you already have.
If there is a deadline, say so, because urgency affects how the shipment is planned.
Depending on the load and the shipment, the booking may be made directly with the carrier or through a suitable cargo agent. Shiv Guru Cargo arranges and coordinates the movement. The flight itself is operated by the airline.

Check Before You Book
Dangerous goods are not accepted for international air cargo.
For domestic air cargo, some goods may be classified as dangerous or restricted for air transport, so they need to be checked before booking. Such cargo can move by air only when the concerned airline or carrier accepts that specific commodity under the applicable requirements. Acceptance depends on the commodity, the shipment details, the carrier and the applicable transport rules, so we cannot confirm it until the details have been checked.
If domestic air movement is not available, we can discuss another suitable mode, such as Train Cargo or Transportation. Those modes have their own eligibility rules and restrictions, so acceptance there is not automatic either.
