Shipping Tools and Hardware to Australia: Weight, Packing, Declarations and Pre-Shipment Review

Suitable tools and hardware

Regular screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, tape measures, manual tool sets and non-electric parts can be assessed.

Drills, electric drivers, lithium-battery tools, pneumatic devices and liquid consumables are sensitive goods that need checks.

Battery and blade packing

Battery power tools need battery type and capacity confirmed, as some lithium products have transport requirements.

Blades and drill bits should be wrapped and fixed separately, and heavy metal tools separated from other items.

Freight and declaration

Small urgent tools can use air freight, while full hardware sets and heavy tools are better for sea freight.

Declare power tools, screwdriver sets and hardware clearly; battery products need checks before shipping.
