Dos and don'ts for migrants moving to Australia:
(1) You cannot bring prohibited items such as tobacco, alcohol, food, animal and plant products.
(2) The documents needed for customs clearance should be communicated with the customer service in advance, and the forms to be filled out also need to be completed in advance, so as to avoid the danger of bringing delay to the customs clearance cycle.
(3) China to most parts of Australia, the whole time takes about 40-45 days, please log in Sydney in advance according to the itinerary, so that when clearing customs in Australia, if the customs need to provide auxiliary supporting materials or other, can also be timely with the communication.
(4) It is best to choose door-to-door double-clearance value-added services, delivering items directly to the designated location when delivering to the door, and providing services such as unpacking, assembling, cleaning, etc., so that moving is considered to be the beginning and the end.
(5) Once the items are found to be missing and damaged when signing for the goods, make sure to note the situation on the signing slip; if insurance is purchased, notify the service provider to arrange for the insurance procedure.
