Understanding Shipping Regulations and Costs for International Freight

When it comes to shipping goods internationally, it's crucial to be aware of the regulations and potential additional costs that may apply to your shipment.

For instance, when shipping from China to the United States, it's important to note that cargo falling between 12 and 22 kilograms in weight and not exceeding 260 centimeters in dimension is classified as regular freight. However, if your shipment exceeds these dimensions or weights, it will be categorized as oversized or overweight, incurring additional fees.

Moving to shipments from China to Australia, there is no minimum weight requirement, but we must highlight that if the total dimensions of your package surpass 260 centimeters, supplementary charges will apply. Moreover, if the dimensions exceed 410 centimeters, your shipment is considered sensitive, oversized, and will require special handling, which may further impact the cost.

Also, be aware that these shipments are often restricted from being delivered to high-rise residential addresses due to the elevated costs associated with handling large or heavy packages. The delivery fees can vary based on the client's location and the chosen method of transport; hence, we always provide quotes based on the specific details of each shipment.
