How to Ship Fragile Items from China to Australia

Which fragile items need reinforcement

Glass, ceramics, mirrors, figures, models, lamps and sharp-corner ornaments should be reinforced. Seller packaging may not be enough for international shipping.

Air freight or sea freight

Small valuable fragile items may be assessed for air freight. Larger non-urgent fragile goods can be assessed for sea freight if packing is strong enough.

Declaration and risk control

Declare specific names such as glass cup, ceramic tableware, figure, ornament or lamp. Internal cushioning and split packing are important.
