As one of the world's top international removal companies, we handle customs clearance for you. However, there are a few essential things to note:

• Your online Inventory Packing List must be accurate to let customs officials see precisely what you have packed in each container.
• All your goods must be thoroughly clean. You may be fined, charged for cleaning, or face delays if any organic matter is discovered.
• Shoes are frequently checked and must be clean and accessible at the entrance of the MoveCube®.

Read our Australian Customs Advice for a full breakdown, including duty-free rules.

After booking one of our international relocation services, log into your Seven Seas Worldwide account and fill in the following online documents:

• An inventory itemising everything in the MoveCube®.
• A customs form.
• Scans of your passport - both photo and signature pages - and your visa.
• Your destination address, email, and contact phone number.
• Optional insurance forms to protect your goods in case something goes wrong.

Australian customs officials will see these forms, so accuracy is a must. Contact our multilingual support team for advice if you need help.

As one of the leading international moving companies in the world, we offer 2 weeks of free storage at our controlled depots in both your origin and destination country.

If your plans change and you want to store your goods for longer after you complete your booking, no problem! Simply let us know more than 24 hours before your MoveCube® loading date.

Australia has a list of items banned from importation. Read through our Prohibited Goods page thoroughly before packing a MoveCube® to prevent possible fines and delays at customs.

Due to the MoveCube's® size and weight (each can carry up to 1.25 tonnes!), we only transport international removals to Australia via sea, taking 99 days. This shipping service is the most affordable option and allows you to ship larger items like bicycles and furniture. Plus, it's better for the environment as it produces fewer CO2 emissions, reducing your shipment's carbon footprint.

Finding a reliable international removals company to ship your personal effects to Australia can be overwhelming. Look for removalists with plenty of experience and multilingual customer support. And consider the benefits of their shipping services, like whether they handle customs clearance or provide packaging.

Here are just a few reasons why ordering Seven Seas Worldwide's removals Australia service is the right decision:

• No hidden fees: no one enjoys getting hit with unexpected costs after purchasing a service, especially when budgeting for an overseas relocation to Australia. For 100% transparency, our removal quotes provide a clear, itemised breakdown of all the fees involved. Plus, we never ask for full payment upfront, instead charging in affordable instalments.
• Seamless shipping from start to finish: we operate our own depots, not an agent's, in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, enabling us to handle the entire process. That's why we can promise that from the time you place your order to the moment we deliver your shipment, you'll communicate with us and only us.
• World-class customer service: our support team successfully guides thousands of customers each year through the removal process. Our expert team speak several languages, including Cantonese, Afrikaans, Thai, Mandarin and English, and are available 24/7 to assist with any questions or concerns you may have about your removal.
• Years of experience: we've been operating in Australia since 2001, so you can trust your belongings are in safe hands. Our friendly team are also expert in handling the customs clearance process, thanks to their in-depth local knowledge.
• Convenient collection and delivery: start by getting a free instant removal quote. Next, place your order and choose suitable dates for us to drop off your MoveCube® Starter Pack and conduct a site inspection. We'll deliver the empty MoveCube® container to your address for you to load within the allocated timeslot. Then, once you complete the customs documentation, we'll ship it to Australia and deliver your shipment to its destination.

Yes, our MoveCube® service is perfect for shipping furniture to Australia! This robust wooden crate acts as your own mini shipping container, offering your items maximum protection during long international removals from South Africa to Australia.

Plus, we can provide multiple MoveCubes®, available in three different sizes, and deliver them directly to your address. You can then load them with everything from sofas and dining tables to garden furniture and wardrobes.

Our International MoveCube® removal service is designed to make shipping your personal effects from South Africa to Australia stress-free. All you need to do is pick a suitable date for us to deliver the container to your door and then load it within the allocated timeslot.

Follow these three easy steps below for a smooth moving day experience:

1. Pack your belongings in advance

Keep your removal on track by packing your goods before the MoveCube® collection day. Luckily, we provide all international removals travelling from South Africa to Australia with a free Starter Pack containing quality packaging to help you wrap your possessions securely.

This pack also contains floor sheets in each MoveCube® size, which you can lay flat and use to determine how much you can fit in the container.

2. Arrange parking for our vehicle

Please organise suitable parking for the van containing the MoveCube® beforehand, especially if you live in a busy area, apartment block, or narrow road.

Parking should be within 20m of the collection and delivery addresses, as our driver must always keep the vehicle within eyesight.

3. Check your phone for a timeslot

We will text you the night before your removals collection and delivery days to confirm the timeslot allocated for loading or unloading. We base these timings on the number and size of MoveCubes® you're using. Timeframes vary from 60 minutes for a small container to 120 minutes for a large one.

To avoid delays, we highly recommend you bring your items to the entrance of your address before collection and ask friends or family for help.
