Packing tips for Shipping to Sydney Australia

Removals to Australia.com would like to just give you a little more information and help on packing and importing personal effects Shipping to Sydney Australia.

If you are Shipping to Sydney you must remember that Australian Customs are very vigilant. Our Team of Moving CoOrdinators will discuss with you all matters of Customs and Duties and are at hand every step of the way whether you personal effects are going by Airfreight or Deep Sea shipping container.

There are a few major things you must consider before Shipping your personal effects to Australia.

Prohibited goods

AQIS will not permit the importation of the following items as personal effects:

• fresh fruit and vegetables
• live plants and bulbs
• prohibited and restricted seeds
• unidentified seeds, which can include some foods, including spices
• live animals (including pets) that require an import permit
• biological products including some plant based, herbal medications
• unprocessed goods of plant or animal origin
• soiled items, or items containing organic residues
• items knowingly infested with pests or a disease.

If you are in doubt of an item and want to determine if the item is prohibited by AQIS, check the AQIS import conditions database—ICON

If you are not using our service of a full pack  for Shipping to Sydney and you are packing your personal items into boxes yourself you MUST CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

What should I do when packing?

Preparation is an important key to packing up your household goods to ensure a successful move. When packing, take the time to prepare household goods for AQIS inspection upon arrival.

CLEAN YOUR GOODS!

Before packing, AQIS requires that any items that have been in contact with food, soil, plants, animals, or their products, are thoroughly cleaned and free from any contamination.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• all used equipment and machinery—drain all standing water, and ensure the equipment is free from contamination
• garden furniture, tools and implements—make sure all soil, animal and plant debris are removed and all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned
• animal bedding and grooming equipment—wash and vacuum animal bedding, and clean grooming equipment to ensure all residual pet hair has been removed
• waste bins, brooms, vacuum cleaners—make sure all waste is removed and the equipment is thoroughly cleaned
• fresh water sporting equipment—make sure reservoirs are completely drained and dry, and that equipment is dry on arrival, including wetsuits, gumboots and fishing tackle.

Other tips:

• Check surfaces of your timber items for any signs of insect infestation (sawdust–like powder, fresh holes, chewed timber or tunnels).
• If you find signs of insect infestation, consider either not bringing the item, or treating it for the timber pests prior to shipment.
• Kitchen goods—do not pack half opened packages of dry foods, herbs and spices that may be harbouring insect pests that are difficult to see.
• Consider whether you really need to ship any natural plant or animal product that has not undergone some form of manufacturing process. These items may need expensive treatments, at your own cost, to mitigate quarantine risks on arrival in Australia. Cheap tourist souvenirs made of untreated plant or animal products, subsequently requiring treatments in Australia, can end up costing more than you would expect.

Packing list for Shipping to Sydney

When packing your personal effects, prepare a list that includes all the items in your consignment. This should include clear labeling, for example ‘Box 1 of 12′, and a list of items contained in each box. This list will be required by the authorities in Australia.

Take time to consider the items AQIS inspectors may be interested in. Pack these items together and put them in boxes separate to those that you consider clearly not to be of quarantine concern. For example, ensure quarantine items such as footwear, food items or garden tools are packed together.

If you are bringing food items, show on the packing list where the food items have been packed or what containers the food items have been packed in.

Used packing boxes

Some second hand boxes that were intended for other uses may pose a risk to quarantine.

Do not use any packing boxes that have already been in contact with an organic substance such as cartons or inserts used previously with fruit, meat, eggs, flowers or pot plants, or fertiliser bags.

Do not use straw, sawdust, wood shavings or any other plant material as packing or filler.

Previous labelling

If second hand boxes are being used, the chances are that they have old numbering or labelling on them. To avoid confusion which may lead to misunderstandings or delays, ensure that any previous labelling on your packing boxes is covered or removed completely. Make sure you use a permanent marker/felt pen to write on boxes in preference to labels that can fall off in transit.

Numbering of boxes

It is important that the numbers on packing boxes match with the numbers on the packing list. Only write one number for each box or large item. Also, number similar items consecutively, for example 3 children’s bikes could be numbered as 56, 57 and 58 etc.
