Transvoras’s team of licensed customs brokers are available to give you expert advice and service in relation to your importing and exporting goods to and from Australia.

Due to the highly regulated nature of air freight and sea freight shipping to and from Australia, the correct handling and completion of customs clearance documentation is vital to ensure you do not incur heavy administrative penalties from both customs and container terminals.

Transvoras Logistics’ team of qualified customs agents will ensure the appropriate documentation is filled out, customs clearance fees and customs duty are paid, and the correct importing and exporting procedures are followed to minimize customs clearance and quarantine clearance delays.

Our systems are electronically linked to both Australian Customs and Quarantine Services to instantly access duty rates, duty concessions and Quarantine requirements on behalf of our clients. This combined with our clearance expertise ensures our clearance service is of the highest level.

We specialise in:

Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) inspection advice;
Import and export of food;
Organic products;
Plants and horticulture;
Motor vehicles, including car parts, used vehicles, machinery and tyres;
Major resources, mining and energy sector imports.

With Transvoras Logistics at your side, you will save money, time and any hassle associated with border force and biosecurity clearances.

Australian Import Biosecurity Clearance

Many products being imported into Australia will be subject to some biosecurity conditions. Transvoras Logistics’ licensed biosecurity inspection team can help you assess your products and assist with biosecurity documentation, the inspection process at international ports and DAFF clearance on arrival in Australia.

You can check requirements specific to your products using the BICON import conditions database, or check the MICOR database for country specific requirements for the meat, fish, dairy, plant, plant products and live animal export industries. Contact our team for a more detailed assessment.

International Biosecurity Clearance

Many exports require documentation to ensure they are safe and will meet foreign government import regulations before they leave Australia. Inaccurately described, packaged or documented products stopped by international biosecurity services can become a costly exercise.

Transvoras Logistics’ team of customs brokers are experienced in assessing and documenting export products for international customs and biosecurity requirements. We work closely with businesses exporting products from Australia to ensure all biosecurity documentation and inspections are completed correctly and international biosecurity regulations are met.
