Full container load (FCL) for importing

Are you importing a large volume of items? Talk to us to see if shipping cargo as FCL is your best option. We offer import sea freight features such as:

• Door-to-door import shipments to all locations in Australia
• Professional cargo handling for sea import
• Dedicated FCL operational staff
• Optimisation of your sea import transportation cost
• Availability of all types of containers for best fit when sea importing

Less than container load (LCL) for importing

Have you got a smaller volume of goods to import from overseas? Then using LCL for importing via sea freight is the most cost-effective if you have a long lead time.

Our carriers properly catalogue and track your goods when consolidated with other cargo within the container to ensure it arrives as expected.

We offer the following features for LCL import sea freight:

• Receipt of your cargo at the export side of the overseas seaport
• Consolidation of your cargo with others that are also LCL importing
• Issue of house bill of lading for your import
• Ocean shipment of your cargo being imported
• Deconsolidation on the import side of the overseas seaport and release to your consignee

Buyer consolidation loads for exporting

Buyer’s consolidation can have several different meanings when it comes to importing. To us it primarily means consolidating several smaller shipments from your suppliers close to the origin so that a full container can be packed and imported as a:

• Once-off
• Weekly schedule
• Monthly schedule

Buyer consolidation can also occur when a predetermined number of products are received at an overseas location, and works best for companies that are sea importing using a warehouse for collection.

Buyer consolidation features for importing include:

• Consolidation and booking
• Warehousing and transport
• Shipping
• Customs clearance

Call us at 1300651233 toll free to discuss your particular import buyer consolidation situation and see what we can do for you.

Break bulk and non-containerised loads when importing

Do you have cargo that does not fit into standard sea freight containers (non-containerised) that is to be imported via sea freight from Australia?

Break bulk is for when you are importing items such as:

• Heavy construction equipment
• Large industrial equipment
• Unusual items like windmills
• Yachts and boats
• Materials such as steel works

We source the best carrier price and ensure your imported cargo gets from overseas to its final destination in Australia safely and securely.
