For any essential items that are required quickly, airfreight offers a faster delivery time. Airfreight can be be more expensive than seafreight, but this is not always the case when transporting a small quantity of items, so for more urgent consignments Airfreight can be cost effective.

Many clients choose to Airfreight their personal items due to it arriving quickly. The cost of sending your items via Airfreight is normally calculated by the total weight of your goods.

However, if you have larger items, for example bicycles, the cost may be determined by the size rather than the weight, as these goods will take up more space in the aircraft, this is known as a volumetric rate.

Hunts International can provide a door –to-door, or door to airport service. Your personal effects are expertly wrapped and packed at your residence, and where required crated for extra protection and security prior to being delivered to the Airport. Airfreight consignments take between 4 and 10 days depending on the destination and the service level you choose.

There are a few major things you must consider before you Ship furniture to Australia:

Prohibited goods when shipping to Australia

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 Australia shipping and you are packing your personal items into boxes yourself you MUST CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

What should I do when packing furniture to Australia?

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.

YOU MUST 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 when you ship furniture to Australia:

• 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 of boxes & furniture for Customs

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.

Removals to Australia.com will make a full inventry on numbering and labeling all your items packed upon collection and delivery, also we will fully export wrap all items of furniture for transportation to Australia.
