Removals to Australia Britannia Bradshaws

Moving to Australia with Britannia Bradshaw

Customs Clearance - It will usually take 10 to 15 days for customs clearance and delivery. This time can be affected by government policy, or the inspection of goods, for example.

Packing & Delivery - Our trained removers can pack and wrap all your items to ensure that they are transported safely. If you choose a full door to door service to Australia, our agents will deliver the goods to your new home. We can then unwrap your furniture and unpack your moving boxes onto a flat surface, and all used packing materials will be removed from the site.

Additional services – Should you require additional removal services when moving to Australia, Britannia Bradshaw can provide comprehensive insurance, and arrange international storage or pet transport.

Moving Personal Effects to Australia

Duty free entry is usually granted if the goods have been owned for at least 12 months. To move your household items, an inventory is required, and Britannia Bradshaw will provide you with the correct customs forms that must be completed prior to the goods leaving the UK.

All household and personal effects entering Australia are subject to a physical examination by the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS).

Items of interest to quarantine include all items that may have come into contact with soil and vegetation such as gardening equipment, bicycles, scooters etc, sporting and camping equipment, golf clubs and buggies, cleaning equipment, brooms, mops, vacuum cleaner waste bags and the like. These items should be thoroughly cleaned before despatch. Please note however prior cleaning and other treatment (fumigation, steam cleaning etc.) does not ensure automatic clearance. AQIS will order further treatment if in their opinion the items being imported present a quarantine risk. Please also be conscious of festive decorations and wreaths containing dried vegetable matter, including pine cones and the like. If imported these items will be subject to further treatment or destruction.

Moving with Pets Britannia Bradshaws

Moving your domestic pets to Australia

Cats and dogs may only be imported from AQIS approved countries, and must be accompanied by a valid Permit to Import. Dogs and cats must have been resident in any of the approved countries for at least six months (or from birth), and during the period of 30 days preceding export they must not have been in quarantine in the country of export.

The preparation of your pet to move to Australia is lengthy, you'll need to start well in advance. Unfortunately, the importation of birds into Australia is currently prohibited.

Britannia Bradshaw can recommend a specialised shipper of animals to assist you in sending your family pet(s) from home to home. They will coordinate all documentation and necessary veterinary procedures.
