Frequently asked questions
Why route imports for Campinas via VCP instead of GRU?
VCP is located in Campinas itself and has a large import cargo terminal, so goods for the region avoid long trucking through São Paulo. GRU remains useful when its flight schedule fits better. We compare both for each booking.
Can you fly electronics and laboratory equipment into Campinas on your own air waybills?
Yes. Ziem Logistics has direct airline access and issues its own air waybills for shipments to VCP. We plan packaging and airline acceptance for sensitive equipment before departure.
Do you collect exports from Paulínia, Hortolândia and Indaiatuba?
Yes. We arrange pick-up across the Campinas region with trusted road partners and deliver to the VCP or GRU cargo terminal. Cut-off times are confirmed with every booking.
