AU FCL Shipping By Sea
Facilisi dictum faucibus class aptent convallis. Dui aliquet vitae pretium vestibulum nullam.
When you have enough cargo to load in a whole container, we can ship it for you from China to Australia by FCL. FCL is short for Full Container Loading.
Normally we use three types of container. That is 20GP(20ft), 40GP and 40HQ . 40GP and 40HQ can also be called 40ft container.
- Exclusive Use of Container: No need to share with others—the entire container is dedicated to your cargo.
- High Security: Reduces the risk of mixing with other shipments, minimizing damage or loss.
- Greater Flexibility: Freely schedule loading and transport plans, ideal for bulk goods or time-sensitive shipments.
- Cost-Effective: Typically more economical than LCL (Less than Container Load) for larger shipments.

How do we handle FCL shipping ?


STEP 1
Booking space:
We get cargo information from customers and book a 20ft/40ft space with vessel owner.

STEP 2
Container loading:
We pick up the empty container from Chinese port and send the empty container to factory for container loading .( This is main container loading way. Another way is that factories send products to our Chinese warehouse and we load containers there). After container loading ,we will truck the container back to port.

STEP 3
Chinese customs clearance:
We will prepare Chinese customs docs and make Chinese customs clearance.

STEP 4
Getting on board:
After Chinese customs release, the port will get the container onto vessel.

STEP 5
Australian customs clearance:
After vessel depart from China, we will coordinate with our AU team to prepare AU customs clearance docs. Then our AU colleagues will contact consignee to make AU customs clearance.

STEP 6
AU inland delivery to door:
After vessel arrive ,we will deliver the container to consignee’s door in Australia. Before we deliver, we will confirm the delivery date with consignee so that they can prepare for unloading. After consignee unloaded the cargo, we will truck the empty container back to AU port.
