Mid-Volume Commercial
Commercial Freight — Mid Volume
At 100 KG, you're in the commercial freight category — large enough for competitive rates but still within the range where air freight often beats sea freight on cost per delivery cycle. This weight is common for electronics, clothing, and general merchandise restocking shipments going to Australia.
Air freight channels offer volume discounts from 100 KG
Sea freight LCL (shared container) becomes viable above 150 KG
Most channels require volumetric weight check (L×W×H÷6000)
Rail freight viable for European destinations at this weight

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Australia?
Current rates for shipping from China to Australia start at USD 1.92/KG via Sea DDP – Private Address Duty Unpaid. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 192, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the GST 10%; duty typically 0–5% applied by Australian Border Force (ABF).
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Australia?
Imports into Australia are assessed by Australian Border Force (ABF). The applicable regime is: GST 10%; duty typically 0–5%. The duty-free / de-minimis position is AUD 1,000 (GST applies below via vendor collection). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
How long does shipping from China to Australia take?
Door-to-door transit to Australia: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 3–7 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
In what currency are rates to Australia quoted and paid?
Freight to Australia is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is AUD. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
What is DDP shipping to Australia and what does it include?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Australia means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to Australian Border Force (ABF), and last-mile delivery to your door. The AUD 1,000 (GST applies below via vendor collection) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
Can I ship batteries via Sea Freight to Australia?
Battery goods by Sea Freight to Australia follow sea dangerous-goods rules — UN3481 (in equipment) and UN3480 (packed with equipment) need an MSDS. We prepare the DG paperwork as part of the DDP service into Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG to Australia?
For 100 KG to Australia, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 3–7 days dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Australia?
Australian Border Force (ABF) typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (RCM mark for electrical goods; biosecurity inspection for timber/packaging). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
