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 DDP | 5–10 business days | From China warehouse to Australia door |
| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to Australia port + delivery |
| Express Courier | 3–7 business days | DHL/FedEx/UPS door-to-door, high cost for this weight |
Current rates for shipping from China to Australia start at USD 78.05/KG via Sea DDP – Private Address Duty Unpaid. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 7,805, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the GST 10%; duty typically 0–5% applied by Australian Border Force (ABF).
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.
Minimums to Australia vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into 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.
Capacity to Australia tightens around Sep–Nov, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
For regulated goods entering Australia, plan for: RCM mark for electrical goods; biosecurity inspection for timber/packaging. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with Australian Border Force (ABF), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
Sea freight to Australia typically routes through Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane, while air freight clears via SYD (Sydney), MEL (Melbourne), BNE (Brisbane). We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
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.
