Import

Specialist import freight forwarding and customs clearance for air and sea cargo entering Australia.

Importing is more than just Freight movement

It is also understanding the strict controls and regulatory minefield that awaits any importer. Time is money in business – but it is especially the case in importing, where the cost of not getting it right means your freight being delayed or not arriving at all.

Smith Channon can handle any freight that needs to be brought into Australia. Our network of delivery contacts means that we can choose the right option for your company.

But the main reason our clients use us to import goods to Australia is our vast experience in Customs and Barrier Clearance. To bring freight into Australia, you’ll need a broker who is not only accredited, but is also up-to-date with the ever-changing regulations for security and customs.

That is one of the advantages of choosing Smith Channon to arrange your imports. We know the regulations and import requirements.
