We can ensure your consignment travels door-to-door, airport-to-airport or wharf-to-wharf, by the most cost-effective route to almost anywhere in the world.

If your overall volume fills a container we will pick up the consignments and consolidate them in F.C.L shipping containers, coordinate the consignments and take care of the entire organisation saving you time and money. Plus, with all your cargo arriving in one FCL consignment, all your deliveries arrive at the same time at a reduced freight rate. Our experienced staff are always available to take your enquiries.

5. Australian Customs and Quarantine Clearance

Don't let a customs clearance problem cost your business time and money.

Australian Customs and Quarantine formalities for the clearance of imports or exports consignments are highly regulated in Australia. The correct preparation and completion of the clearance procedures are critical, as heavy penalties may be applied if the correct procedures are not fulfilled.

United can ensure the appropriate documentation is filled out and the correct importing and exporting procedures followed to minimise clearance delays.

Our systems are electronically linked to the Australian Customs Service, the Australian Quarantine Service and other government departments. This means we access duty rates, duty concessions and other information traditionally stored in numerous volumes of paper binders within an instant. This combined with our expert clearance personnel ensures our clearance service is second to none.

Should you decide to utilise our overseas forwarding network we will provide electronic import documents well before your shipment is due. This procedure allows the processing of the customs quarantine formalities in advance of the actual cargo arrival.
