Different shipping options
Shipping your things to Australia should be straightforward. You can send them by sea or by air. Obviously, land isnโt an option. Not to worry, though. In the world of shipping a โsea-lockedโ country is an accessible country. While shipping by air is usually faster, it is also more expensive than by sea. Scheduling your move properly goes a long way. Door-to-door shipping is a standard in international freight, and itโs the most convenient option for a large move abroad, especially to a country as large as Australia.Major shipping routes
Weโd be mightily impressed if you managed to ship to Australia without using sea or air options. The โsealockedโ nation processes most of its freight by sea, with ports and shipping container terminals dotted all along the coastline. They include:- Sydney
- Melbourne
- Fremantle
- Brisbane
- Townsville
Australian customs
Like anywhere else, Australia has its own quirks when it comes to customs. With quite a self-contained ecosystem to protect, they can be a little precious about animals, plant life, and food products. Doomsday viruses are probably best left at home, and any pets will need to go through quarantine. Otherwise, itโs the standard fare of packing sensibly and declaring items through the proper channels โ in this case the Australian Border Force. You wonโt have to handle this alone. Our partners are well-versed in the process and will walk you through it.Some of the main problem items are listed below, but for a proper breakdown of what to expect you canโt argue with the official website. (No really, you canโt.) For a digestible guide, they recommend downloading the Dangerous Goods Manual, and so do we.Shipping Container Options
