Air Freight Customs Clearance in Cyprus

Larnaca International Airport is Cyprus's primary international airport and the main point of entry for air freight and express shipments. All commercial goods arriving by air must be declared to the Cyprus Customs & Excise Department before they can be released from the cargo terminal.

Air freight customs clearance follows the same legal framework as sea freight but operates on tighter timelines. Storage charges at the Larnaca cargo terminal begin accruing quickly, making prompt clearance essential. Our team is experienced in handling air freight declarations efficiently to minimise your storage costs.

How Air Freight Clearance Works at Larnaca

1

Send Documents Before Arrival

Share the Airway Bill, commercial invoice, and packing list with us before your shipment lands. Pre-arrival preparation significantly reduces clearance time.

2

Customs Entry Preparation

We classify your goods, calculate applicable duties and VAT, and prepare the customs entry for submission to the Cyprus Customs ICIS system.

Declaration Submission

We submit the import declaration electronically. Cyprus Customs will either accept it immediately or select the goods for documentary or physical examination.
