I believe that the first-time immigrants moved Chinese people, do not know how to transport operations, this time must be the heart of the doubt:
What is prohibited for transportation?
What transport options are available?
How much does shipping cost to Australia?
Here, let me show you how to move things from my country to Melbourne, Australia.
First understand the options available for transport:
Containers are divided into three types:20GP,40GP and 40HQ
20 GP: Inner Space 5.89 m long x 2.35m wide x 2.39m high Maximum carrying weight 17.5 tons Maximum loading volume 24-28 cubic meters
40 GP: Empty 11.89 m long x 2.35m wide x 2.39m high Maximum carrying weight 22 tons Maximum loading volume 54 cubic meters
40 GP: Empty 11.89m long x 2.35m wide x 2.69m high Maximum carrying weight 22 tons Maximum loading volume 68 cubic meters
Bulk LCL Shipping: less than 20 cubic meters of cargo, recommended bulk shipping by volume (length x width x height; unit m)
Express to door air: the goods are more urgent, the volume is not large, the weight is lighter, it is recommended to express to the door by air
Select a good mode of transport to confirm the corresponding transport costs:
Chinese bulk goods are shipped to Australia by sea, bulk LCL is charged by cubic meter, minimum consumption is one cubic meter, more than one cubic meter is charged by actual square number.
The price of 20-foot and 40-foot cabinets from China to Australia is unstable and needs to be separately confirmed because of the uncertainty of most people's shipping time.
Express to door air freight is also the specific address that needs to be received, measure the volume and weight of the goods, according to the actual charge.
The most important thing is to know what can and cannot be carried:
Transportable goods: furniture, wardrobe, mattress, auto parts, hardware accessories, tableware, kitchen utensils, toys, mother and child supplies, building materials, shelves, display cabinets, household appliances, clothing, bags, shoes and all other general goods can be transported.
Non-transportable goods: Goods prohibited by the International Transport Association, such as liquids, powders, flammable and explosive materials, batteries, cars, fresh food, etc.
Remarks: the specific consultation can confirm whether the goods can be cleared and shipped, what documents are needed to determine the transport.
In particular Note:
1. It is recommended that the fragile products should be framed (solid wood, to be fumigated) and boxed (with wood, not fumigated)
Solid wood goods to do fumigation insecticidal treatment, some forwarder companies can provide formal fumigation certificate
The goods list should be consistent with the goods, it is forbidden to conceal the report, so it is easy to be checked
