Courier Charges
from Mumbai to Australia

The cost to ship a package from India to the Australia depends on several key factors, and there isn't a single flat rate. At UBT Express, we provide transparent and competitive pricing based on:

• Package Dimensions & Weight: The final cost is calculated using either the actual weight or the volumetric weight (length x width x height / 5000), whichever is higher.
• Service Type: Express services (3-5 days) cost more than standard economy services (7-12 days).
• Destination in the Australia: Shipping to major metropolitan areas may be slightly different than shipping to remote locations.
• Contents & Value: High-value items may require additional insurance, affecting the cost.

We believe in transparent pricing. The final shipping cost to the Australia is calculated with no hidden charges. Here's the breakdown:

1. Base Freight Charge: Calculated based on the chargeable weight (actual weight vs. volumetric weight).
2. Fuel Surcharge: A variable percentage adjusted monthly based on global fuel prices.
3. Customs Clearance Fees: A standard fee for preparing and submitting required customs documentation.
4. Optional Services: Costs for add-ons like insurance, premium packaging, or door-to-door pickup.

All potential costs are clearly communicated upfront before you confirm your shipment.

The cheapest way to ship from India to the Australia is typically our Economy Sea Freight service for large, heavy, and non-urgent shipments. For smaller packages, our Standard Air Freight offers a great balance of cost and speed.

To get the cheapest rate:

• Consolidate multiple items into one shipment.
• Use efficient packaging to minimize volumetric weight.
• Choose a longer transit time (Economy over Express).
• Book in advance and avoid last-minute rush fees.

Shipping to the Australia requires specific commercial documents for smooth customs clearance. The essential documents include:

• Commercial Invoice: The most important document, detailing the sender, receiver, description of goods, quantity, and value.
• Packing List: A detailed list of all items in the shipment, including their weight and dimensions.
• Air Waybill (AWB) or Bill of Lading (B/L): The contract of carriage between you and the carrier.
• Certificate of Origin (if applicable): May be required for certain goods to determine duty eligibility.
• Insurance Certificate (if purchased): Proof of insurance coverage.

Our team will guide you through the entire documentation process to ensure it is completed accurately.

Customs duties and taxes are import fees imposed by the Australia government. Here's how it works:

1. Assessment: Australia border force / customs service assesses duties based on the product type, value, and country of origin (as declared on your Commercial Invoice).
2. Payment: The recipient (importer) in the Australia is typically responsible for paying these charges. UBT Express can act as your broker and pay these fees on your behalf, which will then be invoiced back to you or the recipient.

We handle all the paperwork and communication with customs to streamline the process for you.

Yes, UBT Express offers Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping services to the Australia. Under DDP, all tasks and risks associated with delivering the goods, including paying all duties and taxes, are handled by us, the seller/shipper.

This provides a hassle-free experience for your receiver in the Australia, as they will not face any surprise fees upon delivery. Please specify your requirement for DDP shipping when booking your consignment.

The Australia has strict regulations on prohibited and restricted items. Common items you cannot ship include:

• Absolutely Prohibited: Narcotics, counterfeit goods, hazardous materials (e.g., aerosols, flammable liquids), weapons, ammunition, and live animals.
• Restricted (Require Special Permits): Alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, plants, seeds, and certain food products.

This is not an exhaustive list. It is crucial to declare the contents of your shipment accurately. We strongly advise you to consult with our experts at +91-9650754902 before shipping any questionable items to avoid confiscation and legal penalties.

Shipping prescription medicine is highly restricted. It is generally only permitted for personal use and requires strict adherence to biosecurity and medicines regulators in Australia regulations.

Requirements typically include:

• A valid prescription from a registered doctor.
• The medicine must be in its original packaging.
• Quantity limits for personal use (usually a 3-month supply).
• Prior approval from destination health authorities may be required for controlled substances.

Due to the complexity, you must contact UBT Express for guidance before attempting to ship any medication.

Shipping homemade food is generally not allowed due to strict Australia strict biosecurity laws. Commercially packaged, sealed, and non-perishable food items (like canned goods, dry spices, packaged snacks) may be permitted in limited quantities for personal use.

All food shipments are subject to inspection by Australia authorities and can be destroyed if they do not meet requirements. Always declare food items accurately and be prepared for potential delays.
