Australia has extremely strict biosecurity laws. Items that may carry pests, seeds, or contaminants can be quarantined, treated, or rejected at customs. Your removal company will advise, but common items to be aware of include:
💡 All our specialist Australia removers will complete a biosecurity checklist as part of your pre-move survey. This minimises the risk of quarantine delays on arrival.
A specialist conducts a video or in-person survey to inventory your goods and provide a firm quote with container size recommendation.
Goods are professionally packed, wrapped, and loaded into a shipping container at your home or a local depot for groupage.
Your container departs from a UK port (usually Southampton or Tilbury) and travels to your chosen Australian port — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth.
Your company manages AQIS biosecurity clearance, customs declaration, and final delivery to your new Australian address.
