How to Ship From China to Australia by Sea Freight
Using a client-centric approach, our team brings you various kinds of sea freight forwarding services you can choose from. Pick the right option by determining your requirements in terms of shipment load, types of products to transport, and other aspects. Move your cargo with our team and enjoy tailor-made freight deals from China to Australia.
Full Container Load (FCL)
If you have goods worth more than ten standard pallets, shipping using FCL delivery is the correct choice. Ship using an entire 20-foot or 40-foot container and book enough freight space for your products.
Out of Gauge (OOG)
Out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo refers to those items and goods that do not fit inside a container. Using OOG, you can ship products like aircraft parts, huge machines, and other abnormally shaped indivisible loads (AILs).
Less than Container Load (LCL)
Shipments under 13 CBM are most economically delivered using LCL deliveries. By shipping LCL freight, you share a shipping container with other exporters, which makes you financially responsible only for the amount of space your cargo takes.Â
Roll-on/Roll-off
Moving products in the automotive industry, such as cars, trucks, and other kinds of vehicles, requires the usage of roll-on/roll-off freight transportation. Ship using either a pure truck carrier or a pure car carrier.Â
Bulk Cargo
Materials like coal, oil, food grains, cement, and other related goods may be categorized as bulk cargo. Move such products to Australia unpackaged and loose using various bulk carriers.Â
Reefer Container
Transport sensitive goods like meat, fruits, vegetables, and other types of perishable products without issues using reefer containers. By employing refrigeration technology, reefer containers can keep your products in good condition.Â

Shipping
LCL Shipping from China to Australia
If you are looking for an economical sea freight solution for your Australia-bound shipment, transporting your goods as less than a container load would be a great option. LCL shipping stipulates the sharing of an entire container among various shippers, which also means the distribution of the shipping costs.Â
Opt to ship LCL when seeking faster booking processes and transporting goods no more than 13 CBM. Such shipment loads do not occupy an entire container space, making it non-cost-effective to rent the whole vessel. FCL freight spaces can become harder to secure during peak times than LCL.
Less than container loads can be categorized into two main types: palletized and loose cargo. As the names imply, palletized cargo refers to goods bundled in one pallet—an excellent way to avoid lost products, misrouted deliveries, and other unwanted issues. Loose cargo is another popular shipping option, albeit less safe than the other.
Shipping
FCL Shipping from China to Australia
Shipping your freight as a full container load means you’re booking the entire container space. FCL shipments allow you to control the process of loading into and unloading from the shipping vessel of your products. As you are using the whole container, you will bear all costs for the total freight space.
Considering your requirements in terms of total shipment load, goods handling security, and transit time would help in choosing whether to ship FCL. If you have a cargo of more than 14 CBM or roughly 10 standard pallets, this method is a suitable choice. FCL shipments do not need goods consolidation, translating to faster lead times.
Options include 20-foot, 40-foot, and 40-foot high cube shipping containers, allowing you to ship up to 25 European pallets. When shipping FCL, you may decide whether to use port-to-port, port-to-door, door-to-port, or door-to-door delivery services.

Tips for Getting the Best Sea Freight Quote from China to Australia
While sea freight is typically dubbed as the most economical way to transport goods in bulk, it incurs thousands of dollars in expenses. Having a freight forwarder you can rely on like us is your key to comprehensive and better freight deals from China to Australia.
#1 Working with a freight forwarder
Freight forwarding firms act as your representative in the various shipping processes involved in your delivery. They can help you get better quotes from different kinds of carriers, as well as help you navigate the multitude of procedures required in your shipment. An excellent freight forwarder also has the experience to avoid penalties and pitfalls in the industry.
#2 Shipping documentation
Checking your shipping documentation is an important step you should take, albeit your freight forwarder is responsible for processing them. By tracking your papers, you can see and filter out unreasonable charges on your bill. Ensuring complete paperwork is also key to smoother and hassle-free shipments.
#3 Packaging configuration
The outer dimensions of your packed cargo matter in saving money on shipping. If you ship FCL, keeping your packaging at a minimum helps you fit more products inside your freight space. When using LCL, on the other hand, the total volume that your cargo takes inside a container is calculated.
