Shipping to Australia
South Africans have been relocating to Australia for decades, drawn by its similar lifestyle—though they lack the Springboks! At Freight Factory, we specialize in helping South Africans ship their household and personal effects, as well as vehicles, bikes, boats, jet skis, quads, and more. We manage the critical aspects of paperwork and packing to ensure a smooth move, guiding you through every step of the process so your belongings arrive safely and on time.
The South African and Australian car markets share many similarities, and we’ve successfully shipped numerous vehicles to Australia. One of the key concerns today is asbestos compliance. No need to worry—we have the entire process covered, from testing and lab results to the necessary paperwork, ensuring all requirements are met for Australian customs clearance.
If you are considering purchasing a vehicle from South Africa, it’s crucial to contact us before finalizing the purchase. Many challenges can arise, particularly for foreign buyers unfamiliar with the process—such as traffic register papers, buy-and-sell agreements, and vehicle condition reports. We provide full support to ensure these details are handled correctly.
Importing vehicles from South Africa to Australia involves numerous factors, including declarations of vehicle value, GST and duty calculations, personal import permits, and customs clearances. Regulations are constantly evolving, so it’s important to work with experienced agents who handle these transactions regularly. Freight Factory facilitates container shipments to major Australian ports, offering shared containers or groupage services to make shipping costs more economical.

KLINE ENGINEERING (PTY) LTD
I have used “Freight Factory” and in particular Lorraine to successfully take charge of the shipping & importation of my delicate C-Type Jaguar project. This consisted of arranging and advising of the paperwork required as well as following up with local authorities and the handling of the UK transport to the port, containerisation, shipping, clearing and unloading in CT. I highly recommend the services of “Freight Factory” for any similar requirements.
DARRYL SIMPSON
Being a car collector in Cape Town, I've imported many vehicles over the years and always had to fly up to Durban hoping to retrieve my vehicles safely, without running into all the hidden issues, only to discover after paying huge sums, my pride and joy was left outside and been burgled. That's when I've discovered Freight Factory right on my doorstep! Thereafter, it was an easy, smooth transaction - the experts got all the required paperwork in order in no time and my car was on its way, without a worry, arriving safe and secure! They offered secure indoor storage until I was ready to collect - what a pleasure! I will definitely use them again! Many Thanks for your expert service!
