Shipping a Container to Australia

Australia has some of the strictest biosecurity rules in the world, so preparation matters as much as price.

Biosecurity

Items must be clean and free of soil, plant material and insects. Outdoor furniture, bikes, garden tools and shoes need careful cleaning. Wooden items and food may be inspected or refused. Check the Australian Government's biosecurity guidance before you pack.

Choosing FCL or LCL

A full container is often best for a whole home; a shared container can save money for smaller moves. Our moving size calculator helps you estimate your volume.

Before you book
