Branch-assisted corridor
Europe → Australia & New Zealand
Biosecurity is unforgiving here. Packaging is pre-checked in Europe against Australian timber and cleanliness rules before the box is sealed. Everything on this page is handled by CargoVault staff at both ends — the European loading bay and the Port Botany, Sydney branch — under one reference and one tracking number.

Who receives your cargo in Australia & New Zealand
Our Port Botany, Sydney office. Not a broker found on price that morning, not a name on a forwarding chain you never meet. The same company that sealed the consignment in Europe breaks the seal at destination, and the operator who does it is named on the record.
The paperwork this country demands
Biosecurity (DAFF) inspection, fumigation certification, quarantine release.
All of it is drafted while the cargo is still moving, so the entry is lodged before arrival rather than started after it. That single habit is the difference between a same-day release and a week of storage charges.
Why the border charge exists
$1,880.00 per consignment, stated before you book and never invoiced afterwards. It pays for destination clearance, terminal handling, local compliance filing, branch supervision and the first stage of inland delivery. It does not multiply with volume — a single pallet and a forty-foot box need the same work.
What the schedule really looks like
Sea 34–42 days · Air 2–4 days. We quote the range, not the best case, because weather routing, convoy slots and inspection queues are real. When a leg slips, the ETA in your dashboard changes on its own — and if the slip matters to your customer, you get a call instead of a silent update.
