How To Proceed With Shipping Packages To Australia

By Belinda Norbert


Are you shipping any merchandise to Australia? Then you must be very familiar with customs regulations in this country.

Sharing is cheaper and meant for those who are sending only a few things. The products or belongings can be packed in your home and brought to a warehouse. This is where loading into the container will be done before shipment to a common port of destination. Waiting time usually depends on the number of clients using the same unit. The single container, on the other hand, allows proper organization and more goods to be shipped. Waiting time can be reduced significantly.

It is necessary to secure insurance coverage as possible protection versus losses and damages. You must be prepared for any contingency even if shipping firms use very durable container units and implement security measures. Stay away from low-priced estimates since these may be fly-by-night schemes. Free storage may not include handling fees. That is why you must obtain quotations both for storage and handling purposes.

What are the steps to be taken after your consignment arrives? Orders or shipments normally take between six weeks and 2 & months for exclusive units and three months for pooled container shipment. In short, this will depend on your choice of policy options. You will be informed upon arrival of the cargo. You need to accomplish a certain form at the customs bureau. See to it that the paperwork is complete to guarantee efficient processing of your cargo. Customs authorities will advice you of any issues. Your items will also undergo thorough examination.

Avoid packaging materials prohibited in Australia for health and environmental reasons. These consist of egg cartons, materials made of straw and dried plants, cardboard boxes, and wooden crates or pallets. The latter must undergo fumigation with a proper certificate before being admitted entry. Instead, use the durable double or triple corrugated cardboard boxes for outer packaging. For internal packages, use bubble wrap, old newspapers or foam The common is majority of medicines, cosmetics, unpreserved food, animal products (like feathers), wooden objects, and plants are classified as restricted or barred.

Customs clearances for personal things may delay your cargo by a minimum of 24 up to 48 hours. Make sure to fill up the B-534 form before shipping the items and attach the documents in a purse to keep away from these stoppages. These should be attached to the package. Expect customs authorities to ask for a copy of your passport upon arrival. Adhering to the rules can expedite the process. You are bound to pay the duties if you do not qualify. Standard customs clearance fee in Australia is $150 (AUD plus the 10 percent (Goods Services Tax). This does not include import duties and other applicable costs.
