Sea Freight Made Simple

Move your goods worldwide by sea with options including full or part container loads, breakbulk, bulk, roll-on/roll-off and project cargo.

Regulatory Compliance & Consulting

Cut through red tape with practical, outcome-focused advice. We secure tariff concessions and by-laws, provide valuation, classification and origin guidance, and manage dumping and countervailing matters. Our team arranges refunds and duty drawbacks, leverages Free Trade Agreements and Tradex to reduce costs, prepares carnets for temporary imports, and ensures special handling and dangerous-goods compliance. We also conduct audits and provide clear import advice - so you stay compliant and your cargo keeps moving.

Exporting Services

We can export your cargo to anywhere in the world - either by air or by sea. Brisbane Customs and Forwarding is represented around the world by a network of authorised professional freight agents.

These agents are experts at handling freight shipments in their region and are familiar with local customs and regulations.

Should your shipment require government clearance or special handling on arrival, we will use our communication network to prepare the necessary paperwork.

Depending on your needs, your shipment can be picked up at our agent's facility and can be delivered to your specified door.

Freight Fowarding & Logistics

Through our extensive global network, we can handle all modes of international freight, including courier consignments. This ability comes from decades of experience and work with clients to provide the correct carrier and transit times - delivering savings or expediting freight as required.

We offer LCL (less than a container load) services - which is a cost-effective shipping method for a lot of our customers - as you only pay for the space your goods occupy. It also works well when a customer needs to dispatch goods quickly due to unexpected demand. However, FCL (full container load) shipments can often be faster as you don't have to wait for other shippers' goods. We can move all types of containers from standard, to refrigerated to isotainers - and we can do that anywhere in the world.

Brisbane Customs and Forwarding is also an airfreight specialist. We work with all the major airlines to ensure airfreight is delivered within the required timeframes.

The specific services that we provide to each client is dependent on their individual requirements and we customise our service range to best meet their needs.

We have access to a network of transport operations around Australia - ensuring your cargo gets where it needs to go on time, every time. We offer a variety of delivery services and types including: side-loader, tilt-tray, flat bed, as well as oversize and live unloading when required.
