Hobart is a city located on Tasmania Island, southeastern of Australia. It is far from land, something like the position of Taiwan, China, they both need to cross the sea to get to the mainland. Additionally, Tasmania Island is a big island with a few people and a vast area of forest.
Only around the Port of Hobart there are more people living. So, the transportation in Hobart is very inconvenient, all the daily necessities need to be imported from Australia or other countries. But owing to the beautiful scenery, many overseas Chinese have moved here.
Then high logistic costs resulting from inconvenient transportation became the greatest disadvantage. Many people moved here are wealthy, but it’s also a bad choice for them to pay such a high freight-the total freight to here is much higher than that of Sydney as they both ship from Shenzhen, China.
The freight will be much lower if you choose an international sea freight service rather than an international air cargo service to ship your awkward cargoes.
Opening a restaurant, building a house or undertaking a government project in Hobart need to ship large quantities of cargoes from China. It’s very convenient for you to choose a full container shipping service in 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ (containers in different size). There is a fixed weekly voyage from China’s Tianjin, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenzhen and Hong Kong to Hobart. No matter where you purchase goods from in China, you can find the nearest port to make a sea cargo booking with the container shipping company to ship your goods to Hobart, which will take about 30 days, a month. You can complete the import customs clearance at the Port of Melbourne and then make a transshipment here to ship your goods to Hobart by boat. Or you can complete the customs clearance in Hobart and return the containers to the local shipping company.
When there’s no large amounts of cargoes, you can choose an international less than container shipping service for bulk carriers, the most affordable choice. It’s very easy for you to order a less than container shipping service from China to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Fremantle in the mainland of Australia.
A lot of Chinese and Australian logistics companies can provide such services. For example, the Port of Papeete in Tahiti, a small island country, not far from Australia, can also provide the international less than container shipping service. But so far there is no company can provide the international less than container shipping service for bulk carriers in the international logistics market. If you have a small amount of cargoes and you want to make a shipping of less than container load from China to Hobart.
ou can only do by following these steps: make a shipping of less than container load from China to the Port of Melbourne, complete the import customs clearance and tax payment at the Port of Melbourne, and then find a logistics company in Melbourne yourself to ship your goods to Hobart. There are no other freight channels any more. Mainly because of a small amount of less than container load cargoes, less than a full container weekly, and there are no customs bonded warehouses for the storage of the cargoes, too. So, there’s no the service for the international shipping of less than container load.
There are two different international air cargo services from China to Hobart：one is the international air cargo service from airport to airport. But Hobart International Airport is very small, serves for the passenger planes mainly. So, there are many restrictions for the air freight: no large amount of cargoes and small sized cargoes only.
The other one is the international air cargo service from door to door, which means a home delivery. FedEx (the Federal Express) and TNT Express delivery services will be a cheaper choice for you. The freight of these two international express services from China to Hobart are RMB 5 per kilogram higher, for a remote area surcharge, than that to the mainland Australia.
Basically, here are all the international logistic routes from China to Hobart, Australia. Good Hope International Logistics (Group) Limited knows the international logistics market in Chinese and Australia best!
