Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What special requirements does Australian customs have?
A: Australia has strict biosecurity regulations. All wooden packaging must undergo fumigation treatment and bear the IPPC mark. Certain high-risk products (e.g., bamboo/wooden products, straw items) may require additional quarantine inspection. We will check and prepare accordingly before shipment.

Q2: What costs are included in your DDP service?
A: It covers China export customs clearance, sea freight, Australian import GST (Goods and Services Tax, 10%), customs duties, customs clearance fees, port handling charges, and final delivery. You pay no additional fees at destination.

Q3: Do I need to provide an Australian tax ID (ABN)?
A: If you are an Australian registered company, providing your ABN is recommended for tax deduction purposes. If you are an overseas seller or private receiver, we can use our partner customs broker's credentials for clearance – no ABN required from you.

Q4: What is the transit time from China to Australia?
A: Typical sea transit is about 15-25 days (from vessel departure to arrival at port). Including customs clearance and delivery, the total door-to-door time is approximately 20-35 days. East coast ports like Sydney and Melbourne are faster; Western Australia (Perth) may take slightly longer.

Q5: What goods cannot be shipped via DDP?
A: Australia prohibits imports of certain weapons, illegal drugs, specific animal/plant products, etc. Most general cargo is acceptable. If unsure, please provide the product name and we will confirm for you.

Q6: Any special requirements for Amazon FBA shipments?
A: Yes, Amazon's labeling and palletizing requirements must be strictly followed: each outer carton must have FNSKU labels and "Made in China" labels; pallets must meet 1.2m x 1.0m standards with height not exceeding 1.8m. We will assist you in preparing your shipment accordingly.
