由 lltx1822 Key Points and Cost Estimation for Consolidating Electric Chairs and Chairs to Australia
Australia has extremely high requirements for the safety and environmental protection of imported furniture. Shipping electric chairs and chairs needs to strictly follow relevant standards. Due to the long distance between the two countries, sea freight is the main transportation method, and FCL is recommended to ensure the safety of the furniture.
Before shipping, understand the certification requirements of the Australian customs for furniture. For example, electric chairs need to meet Australian electrical safety standards. After sending the furniture to the consolidation company, the company will specially handle the batteries of the electric chairs to meet transportation safety specifications and professionally pack the chairs.
The transit time for FCL sea freight from China to major Australian ports such as Sydney and Melbourne is 20 – 28 days. The freight for a 20 – foot container is 11000 – 17000 yuan, and for a 40 – foot container, it is 17000 – 24000 yuan. It is very necessary to purchase insurance during transportation to prevent damage to the goods due to bad weather at sea.
After the furniture arrives at the Australian port, the customs will conduct strict inspections during the customs clearance process, including aspects such as materials and safety performance. The tariff rate for furniture in Australia is approximately 5% – 10%. In addition, other taxes such as consumption tax may also be involved. After customs clearance, choose a reliable local delivery company to safely deliver the furniture to customers’ hands.
