Quarantine Coordination in Remote Areas: Arranges inspections at bonded warehouses for areas classified by the Department of Agriculture to ensure compliant delivery.

DDU and DAP Models: Adapting to Different Business Needs

DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): Duties and taxes are paid by the consignee, suitable for Australian clients with complete import qualifications;

Risk Control and Operational Recommendations

Customs Compliance Requirements: Declare cargo value truthfully; Xinghan Tongda assists clients in completing declarations according to local regulations to avoid delays or penalties due to declaration issues;

Wood Packaging Standards: Wood packaging must comply with IPPC standards and bear fumigation marks to prevent returns due to non-compliant packaging;

Dangerous Goods Management Regulations: Complete documentation is required for dangerous goods transportation; misdeclaration or omission may result in high fines;

Free Time Planning: It is recommended to apply for at least 14 days of free time to account for uncertainties in customs clearance and delivery.
