Shipping Electric Blankets and Heating Products to Australia

Heating products by power type

Plug-in electric blankets and heaters contain no battery and can usually be assessed for electrical-goods routes.

Rechargeable hand warmers with lithium batteries face stricter limits and need confirmation first; drain water from hot water bags before shipping.

Voltage and plugs

Australia uses 230V, close to China, so most electric blankets work, but plugs are the Australian three-flat-pin type, needing adapters or replacement.

Prefer products labelled 220-240V wide voltage to avoid unusable items after arrival.

Packing, declaration and timing

Compress electric blankets to cut volume weight and protect controllers and plugs separately.

Declare electric blanket or heater specifically and note battery status. Winter demand peaks together, so ship around May; sea freight of 1.5-2 months lands just before winter.
