Comprehensive Customs Clearing Services at Port Botany

All sea freight vessels carrying cargo destined for Sydney will arrive at Port Botany. The containerised vessels arriving at Port Botany are processed at one of three container terminals operated by private companies – DP World Sydney Limited, Patrick Terminal Port Botany and Sydney International Container Terminals Pty Ltd.

These terminals follow strict guidelines, providing only limited free storage periods. Port Botany Customs Brokers™ ensures that your shipments are cleared quickly and efficiently, minimising any potential logistical challenges or charges.

Cargo Insurance for Peace of Mind

Before your cargo departs on its overseas voyage to Sydney, Port Botany Customs Brokers™ can, on most occasions, assist in arranging insurance for your goods. Securing insurance ensures your cargo is protected throughout its transit. Insurance policies must be arranged prior to the departure of the shipment, giving you peace of mind from the start.

Timely Customs Clearing for Full Container Loads (FCL’s)

FCL shipments must adhere to tight deadlines at Port Botany. Stevedores typically provide only three [3] free calendar days for containers to remain on site before storage fees apply. Port Botany Customs Brokers™ take a proactive approach, pre-clearing your FCL shipments days or even weeks in advance to prevent delays and reduce costs.

For FCL’s that arrive without prior customs clearance, our dedicated team expedites the process through effective coordination with both the Australian Border Force (ABF) and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). This guarantees the swift movement of your cargo through customs and out of the port.
