SOC 20GP from Shenzhen to Sydney Australia DDU FCL logistics
Simplify your Australian imports with our comprehensive DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) FCL (Full Container Load) logistics service for 20GP SOC (Shipper's Owned Container) shipments from Shenzhen to Sydney. As your dedicated freight forwarder and shipping agent, we manage the entire transport chain while you maintain control of your container assets and handle Australian duty payments. This service provides maximum convenience with minimized operational burden.
Service Clarification: We coordinate transportation and logistics only. We do not purchase goods, source products, or act as trading agents. Our role is to move your SOC container from origin to destination under DDU terms.
1. What DDU FCL SOC Service Includes
Our DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) service covers everything except Australian duty/tax payments and final customs clearance:
- Origin Services (Shenzhen): Container pickup from your facility, transport to Shenzhen port (Yantian/Shekou), and China export customs clearance
- Ocean Freight: Booking space on vessels from Shenzhen to Sydney (Port Botany), including all ocean-related charges
- Destination Port Services: Port discharge, terminal handling charges, and delivery from Port Botany to your specified Sydney address
- Australian Customs Documentation: Preparation and submission of all required import documents to Australian Border Force (except duty payment)
- Quarantine Coordination: Liaison with Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) if inspection is required
Important Note: Under DDU terms, the consignee (Australian receiver) is responsible for paying Australian import duties, taxes (GST), and completing the final customs clearance. The SOC container must be shipper-owned/leased and certified.
