Information For The Exporter (USA Based Companies) -

Companies shipping a container to any country within Oceania may need to provide a special license if there are certain types of commodities or goods on board. Our experts can let you know if you need such a license when we receive your quote form and obtain the shipment information. As far as import duties go, your company is not required to pay these since the receiver pays for them at the destination port on product arrival.

The United States Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the governing body that enforces laws and regulations on goods leaving the USA. Although the CBP is the organization that enforces export rules and regulations, it does delegate authority to other government agencies when certain commodities or goods are involved. Therefore, licensing requirements must be directed to the lead agency in each situation. A pharmaceutical company shipping a container to Oceania, then, must provide a license in order to successfully and legally export its prescription drugs.

There are many websites that provide agency information, phone numbers, and basic commodities/products requiring export licenses. They include the U.S. Department of Commerce; Bureau of Industry and Security; Department of State; Directorate of Defense Trade Controls; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Office of Foreign Assets Control; and the Bureau of the Census websites. On those sites, you can research information from other government agencies that hold export control responsibilities.

Most companies who contact us are US-based and need to ship a container to Oceania.


Information for the Importer (Oceania Based Companies) -

Don’t let import road blocks trip you up: strive to know all you can about import duties and/or permits to become a prepared importer. Import regulations vary throughout all Oceania countries. Since each one may handle its own import regulations – and import compliance in particular – you’ll need to apprise yourself of these situations beforehand. It’s easy to get more import duty information for a specific country in Oceania: just place your cursor over the "Container Shipping" tab to find your country. Also, depending on the type of products being imported, keep in mind that the import duties will vary. Import duties are generally paid at the arrival port by the receiving company.

Clients within an Oceania country who need to ship a container to Oceania should contact the Customs Department for more specific information regarding import duty rates for products. Find your Customs Department through a web search, then inquire if you need a permit to import the goods in question.

Oceania companies rely on us to pick up their product in the US, and ship it to Oceania in one of our conveniently sized containers.

Marine Insurance - Protecting Your Product

We know accidents can happen, even though damage during shipping is rare. However, the receiving company may opt for marine insurance prior to paying. This protects their purchase from damages incurred during shipment, if any. Wise clients will pack their product safely before loading into the container; the ship will likely rock quite a bit during the trip. Insure your fragile items, such as electronics or glass, with the amount of insurance depending on the value of the product.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to protect your shipment against loss or damage
