Shipping to Australia
Is considered a dream for some and it is no wonder that over a million Brits decide to relocate each year to a sunnier climate. The impressive weather, fantastic schools and outdoor lifestyle make living in Australia irresistible. Moving abroad can be a very daunting prospect whether you are relocating for a job or simply starting a new life down under. This is why we have a team of specialist moving coordinators to assist you through the entire process door to door. Prior to moving to Australia, there are several legal restrictions and paperwork that you must undertake before your goods depart. In addition to this Australia has strict quarantine regulations on the import of items such as food/plant and animal products to protect their natural environment. This is regulated by the Australian Department of Agriculture. Your shipment may be delayed if you include such items within your consignment. You will be required to complete a B534 customs form when importing. Please speak to our operations department for all queries regarding paperwork and Visas etc they will be more than happy to assist.
Moving to Australia – Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to ship my belongings to Australia?
Shipping by sea typically takes 8–12 weeks, depending on the origin and service type. Air freight is faster (1–2 weeks) but more expensive.
What items can I bring into Australia?
Australia has strict biosecurity laws. You can bring most personal effects and furniture, but items like wooden goods, soil-contaminated tools, food, and animal products may be restricted or require inspection.
What documents do I need for customs clearance?
You’ll need a detailed inventory list, passport copy, valid visa, completed Unaccompanied Personal Effects (UPE) declaration, and proof of residency or arrival in Australia. We’ll help guide you through the paperwork process.
Do I need to be in Australia when my shipment arrives?
No, but you must have arrived in Australia before your shipment clears customs. You can nominate us or a third party to handle clearance on your behalf.
How much does it cost to move to Australia?
Costs depend on volume of goods, origin and destination, service type (groupage vs. full container), and extras like packing, storage, or insurance. We offer free tailored quotes to give you an accurate price.
Should I choose sea freight or air freight?
Sea freight is cost-effective for larger moves (8–12 weeks). Air freight is faster but more expensive — ideal for urgent or minimal items. We can advise based on your priorities.
Can I store my belongings before or after the move?
Yes. We offer short- and long-term secure storage both in the UK and in Australia. It’s useful if your home isn’t ready yet or you’re staging your move in phases.
Do you offer a packing service?
Yes — our professional team can pack, wrap, and prepare all items for international shipping, ensuring they’re compliant with customs and protected in transit.
Can I move my car or motorcycle to Australia?
Yes, but there are specific import rules and taxes. We can assist with compliance checks and shipping options. You’ll need import approval before the vehicle is shipped.
