How to ship household goods and furniture to Australia by sea?

How can immigrants buy furniture in Australia?

Foreign furniture is generally expensive and the styles are not so complete. Therefore, for new immigrants, it is best to bring a set of furniture suitable for their own needs. So, how to transport the new furniture bought in China to Australia safely? First of all, the identity should be appropriate, and those who can transport personal belongings include Australian returned residents, foreign residents with temporary and permanent visas, new immigrants, international students, diplomats and so on. What should I pay attention to during transportation?

1. Cargo transportation process (booking-trailer-container loading-fumigation-customs declaration-shipment-customs clearance-tax payment-customs inspection-delivery-loading and unloading furniture-transporting garbage)

1. Confirm when the customer wants to ship by sea (specific date), and choose a shipping company to book the shipping space (different shipping companies have different sailing times, and each shipping company will do it once a week).

2. Make a good address with the customer, confirm the loading time (specific to the date of the month), arrange the trailer driver to pick up the container at the dock in advance, and arrive at the designated place on time to wait for loading.

3. On the day of loading, our company contacted the staff of the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to come to the door to stamp the log materials packed in wooden frames/trays/wooden cases, and waited for loading after stamping. After the cabinet is installed, the staff will fumigate it with drugs, then close the cabinet door and drag it to the dock.

4. Customs declaration: For export declaration in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, this operation only requires the customer to provide the goods list (it is easier to declare personal belongings/sundries/sensitive goods in Guangzhou), so customers from other provinces can transport the goods to Guangzhou or Shenzhen port for customs clearance.

You can arrange to board the ship after customs clearance. Generally, after boarding a ship in Guangzhou, you have to transfer to Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and then set off for your destination. After a period of sailing (generally about 13 ~ 20 days), the ship arrived at the destination port, and our staff arranged customs clearance.

6. After customs clearance, it is simple, convenient and quick to deliver goods to your door, help unload goods, assemble furniture and clean up the mess.
