How to Ship Suitcases from China to Australia

What to pack in suitcases

Clothes, shoes, books, bedding, daily goods and study supplies are usually suitable. Liquids, food, medicine, supplements, battery goods and fragile items should be checked separately.

Avoid making each suitcase too heavy because wheels, zippers and shells can be damaged during long-distance handling.

Air or sea for suitcases

Air freight suits urgent clothing, documents and essential items. Sea freight suits larger luggage, bedding, books and non-urgent goods.

A practical plan is to send one urgent suitcase by air and ship the rest by sea earlier.

Customs and delivery

Declare contents by category, such as clothes, books, bedding, shoes and personal goods, instead of writing suitcase only.

Provide complete address, unit number, postcode and Australian phone number.
