Avoid costly mistakes and delays to your shipment
Ensuring your cargo complies with customs and quarantine legislation allows smooth and cost-effective movement of your cargo across the border. Our highly experienced, Licensed Customs Brokers at AUSCUS will ensure your customs lodgement is completed correctly and the right permits and/or quarantine documentation are obtained, allowing clearance of your cargo without delay through Australian Border Force (Customs) and Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (Quarantine) . Getting this advice prior to shipment movement can save you thousands in unnecessary costs and delays.
Before shipping your freight to Australia by air, sea, post or hand carry, we highly recommend you consult with our Licensed Customs Brokers at AUSCUS about your shipment to avoid costly customs & quarantine clearance mistakes and delays. Customs Brokers play the critical role in assisting you to avoid customs penalties, quarantine compliance issues, possible quarantine treatments costs, and other imposed costs on your cargo on arrival, resulting in bond storage, costly delays, re-export or at worst destruction of goods at the owner’s expense.
Our Customs Brokers at AUSCUS continually participate in professional development programs through Government agencies, industry bodies and stakeholders. This gives us the ability to stay up to date with current legislation and industry developments which allows us to provide your ongoing importing and exporting compliance.
