How do I ship a large item in Australia?

Published 1 Jun 2022

If you are talking about moving large items like your car or household, then shipping containers are probably the best option. You can arrange for a freight forwarder to pick up your car and place it into a container for transportation.

The cargo shipment is then securely tied down so it doesn’t move while in transit. If you are shipping your vehicle internationally, then you will need to complete paperwork. This applies for both export from Australia and importation to another country. Freight forwarders will oversee this. It is worth doing this as regulations can be quite complex.

Also freight forwarders who deal with car shipping Australia, will likely have car compliance contacts in the destination country. These companies certify the vehicle for use. If you are moving your whole household a shipping container is a viable way to move your possessions.

Freight companies can deliver a container to your property to be filled with your possessions. They then seal it and take it. They complete any necessary paperwork and organise a shipping company to move your container to the destination port. From there, they will complete important paperwork and deliver containers to the destination address.
