As we enter Chinese New Year holiday period, shipping costs from China to Australia have continued to increase. We have also seen a container backlog and subsequent delays in Singapore with many carriers.  There are many factors contributing to these outcomes, such as DP World industrial action, pre-holiday increased demand, and the Red Sea crisis to name a few.

Australian importers are at risk of dumping duties being applied to imported goods, so make sure it isn’t a surprise.

Additional shipping and holding costs are payable if you don’t keep control of your shipment.
