What is Sea Freight LCL Shipping?
Sea freight LCL shipping is the process of transporting goods from one destination to another by sharing space with other peoples cargo. Cargo is collected or received from your supplier in Japan, consolidated for shipping to Australia, placed onboard a vessel and shipped to Australia. Once the container arrives into Australia, the container will be deconsolidated and then everyone’s goods will be segregated before collection.

Australia and Japan – Free Trade Agreements
Australia and Japan have two Free Trade Agreements; 1) the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) and 2) the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) includes provisions for tariff reductions or eliminations, liberalization of trade in services, increased market access for agricultural goods, improved investment opportunities for both countries and strengthened competition policies.
Additionally, it also contains commitments on intellectual property rights such as copyright protection and enforcement of trademarks. Moreover, there are dedicated chapters on food safety standards that ensure safe trading between Japan and Australia of agricultural products.
The primary benefit of this FTA is that it removes tariffs on goods traded between Japan and Australia – making them significantly less expensive to export or import. This means that businesses operating in either country will be able to save money when trading their goods between the two countries.
