How to Ship Winter Clothes from China to Australia

Why winter clothes create volume

Down jackets, coats, sweaters and boots take space, so shipping may be charged by volumetric weight even when actual weight is low.

Reasonable compression can reduce wasted space, but over-compression may damage packaging.

Air freight or sea freight

Urgent winter clothes are better for air freight. Larger seasonal clothing shipments can be planned earlier by sea freight.

If time allows, winter clothes and bedding can be shipped together by sea to control cost.

Packing and declaration

Declare down jacket, sweater, coat, shoes, scarf or clothing clearly.

Winter clothes can be consolidated with regular clothes, but should not be mixed with liquids, food or fragile goods.
