Frequently asked questions

How long does China to Australia shipping take?
Ocean transit to Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane is typically 18–25 days; air freight 3–6 days. Forwarders confirm schedules against sailings.
What biosecurity applies to Australian imports?
Australia screens many imports (timber, packaging, food, used machinery) for biosecurity risk, sometimes requiring treatment or inspection. Forwarders experienced on this lane manage DAFF/biosecurity compliance to prevent delays.
Do I need a customs broker for China–Australia cargo?
Commercial imports are declared to the Australian Border Force, and most importers use a licensed customs broker who also handles GST and biosecurity. Many forwarders on CargoLinked provide brokerage in-house.
