Air Freight Pre-Alert Submission & Operations Guidelines
As an IATA-certified freight forwarder and licensed FMC operator established in 2005, Regent Logistics Inc. provides seamless air cargo handling, customs pre-clearance, and terminal transfer services across major U.S. airports. Our primary logistics facility is strategically positioned just 15 minutes from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), allowing our operations team to process pre-alerts and recover freight immediately upon touchdown.
Submitting an accurate Pre-Alert prior to flight departure enables our licensed customs specialists to conduct immediate document audits, pre-file U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) entries, and schedule bonded airport pickup. This prevents storage demurrage and guarantees rapid delivery for international manufacturers, global freight agents, and B2B buyers.

- House Air Waybill (HAWB): Detailed consignment records for consolidated or co-loaded air shipments.
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List: Complete breakdown with clear HS tariff codes, total piece count, gross weight, and declared value.
- Flight Manifest & Routing Details: Airline carrier name, flight number, estimated departure (ETD), and estimated arrival time (ETA).
