FAQ
DSV provides a wide range of transport options, including air freight, sea freight, and XPress deliveries. Our air freight services are ideal for time-sensitive shipments, while sea freight offers a cost-effective solution for larger volumes. For urgent deliveries, we offer XPress services, ensuring shipments are prioritised for the fastest possible transit time.
How long does it take to transport goods to or from Australia?
The transit time to and from Australia depends on the chosen transport method. Sea freight typically takes an average of 50-55 days, while air freight usually requires 4-5 days. DSV offers advanced track-and-trace capabilities, allowing you to monitor your shipments in real time and always stay informed about their status.
Are there any special requirements or restrictions for exporting to or importing from Australia?
Australia has strict customs regulations and quarantine measures to protect its domestic ecosystem, particularly for goods such as food, plants, and wooden packaging materials. Additionally, specific documents are required, including a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading (B/L), Air Waybill (AWB), and sometimes a certificate of origin. DSV assists you in preparing and submitting these documents, ensuring your shipment complies with Australia’s complex customs regulations.
What are the costs of transport services to and from Australia?
The costs depend on various factors, such as the mode of transport, volume, destination, Incoterms, and any additional services. DSV offers competitive rates and transparent pricing. Contact us for a customised quote.
Which ports and airports in Australia are most commonly used by DSV?
DSV utilises Australia’s key transport hubs. Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fremantle (Perth) are the most frequently used seaports due to their connectivity and efficiency. For air freight, Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, Melbourne Airport, and Brisbane Airport are the primary choices, thanks to their modern facilities and strategic locations. Our presence in these major logistics hubs enables us to provide fast and efficient transport solutions.
