Complete your Customs Declaration and upload your IATA tag numbers

Airportr Website

Submitting your Customs Declaration and uploading your IATA tag numbers

  1. In order for Airportr to collect your luggage and proceed through Customs clearance, we ask that you complete a simple online form giving Airportr permission to collect your luggage for you, and confirming that you have nothing to declare to Customs Officials at the border. We are unable to collect and deliver your luggage without this.
  2. In order to assist our teams with locating your bags, we kindly ask that you upload photographs of your suitcases. This allows our team to visually identify them from the luggage carousel. If you are unable to do this, please don't worry as we can still identify your luggage using their IATA tag numbers.
  3. Upload your airline-issued IATA tag numbers so that our team can verify the identity of your luggage. Your booking cannot take place without these.
💡 Make sure to complete your Customs E-Declaration - It is important that you complete your Customs E-Declaration before your flight departs - Our team is unable to collect your luggage if this has not been completed, which may result in your booking being cancelled.
