Shipping and Removals to Melbourne

As relocating can be stressful, it is important to have the right service provider to assist in your move. It is also essential that you know about the Customs Regulations and restrictions on certain goods prior to shipping your household contents.

 

Besides the actual shipping and transit times, you must also allow time for customs clearance and delivery. All this advice should be available through your removal and shipping company.

Expatriates must be aware that all household goods and personal effects will be subject to Customs Inspection and Clearance. Items that you have owned for 12 months or less will be under more intense scrutiny. Refrigerator and air conditioning equipment is thoroughly examined in line with the Ozone Protection and Greenhouse Gas Management Act.

A Customs form (B534) issue 6/00 Unaccompanied Baggage Statement must be signed and completed in order to clear the shipment when it arrives in Australia. Photocopies of passport pages including Australian entry stamp together with a full descriptive inventory in English are also required.
