Route and transit time for shipping from Saudi Arabia to Australia
Australia is one of the farthest destinations. The vessel crosses the Indian Ocean, usually with transhipment at Singapore or Port Klang, and reaches the west coast first, then the east.
| Destination | Sailing or flight time | Door to door | Serves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fremantle | 22 – 30 days | 40 – 55 days | Perth and Western Australia |
| Melbourne | 28 – 38 days | 45 – 62 days | Victoria |
| Sydney | 30 – 40 days | 48 – 65 days | New South Wales and Canberra |
| Brisbane | 32 – 42 days | 50 – 65 days | Queensland |
| Air | A day, with a stop | 5 – 8 days | The urgent and light belongings |
The time includes one to two weeks for biosecurity and clearance after the vessel arrives. It lengthens if the shipment needs treatment.
Cost of shipping from Saudi Arabia to Australia
At Home Safe the price is worked out per cubic metre for consolidated freight, per container for a full load, and per kilogram by air. Send a list of what you are shipping and your Australian city to 0552803439, and you will have the price the same day.
| What sets the price | Its effect |
|---|---|
| Volume | Work it out with the volume calculator |
| The port | Fremantle is nearest, and the east coast farther |
| Biosecurity charges | A compulsory inspection, and treatment where needed |
| Packing | Treated wooden crates and double-walled cartons |
| Delivery to the address | Stated explicitly in the price |
Ask about biosecurity charges: they sit outside the freight in most quotes. We estimate them for you in advance, and tell you how to avoid treatment charges.
Australian biosecurity: the most important part of the shipment
Australia is an island that protects its farming and environment with some of the strictest quarantine rules in the world. Every shipment of belongings is inspected, and the officer looks for:
- Soil: on shoes, garden tools, bicycles, tents and sports equipment.
- Insects and their eggs: in wood, straw, baskets and woven furniture.
- Seeds and plants: even if dried or decorative.
- Food: nearly all of it, including spices, honey and undeclared dates.
- Animal products: feathers, untanned hides and raw wool.
Anything suspect is treated by fumigation or cleaning, or destroyed, and the charges fall on the shipment’s owner.
How do you prepare your belongings before shipping?
- Clean: wash shoes and their soles, clean bicycles and garden tools, and empty the vacuum cleaner’s bag.
- Take out all food: no spices, dates or unsealed coffee in the cartons.
- Wooden furniture: clean and free of insect holes. Anything made of raw wood or straw is declared.
- Wooden crates: in heat-treated wood bearing the ISPM 15 stamp.
- Group what will be inspected: put inspectable items in marked cartons near the container door.
- The list: detailed and in English, naming wood, shoes and outdoor equipment explicitly.
Honesty in the list is the safer course. A false declaration carries a fine, and delays the shipment more than the inspection does.
Immigrants’, students’ and returning residents’ belongings
- The exemption: personal and household effects you have owned and used for at least 12 months enter with no duty and no goods and services tax.
- The declaration: the unaccompanied personal effects form is submitted to customs with a copy of the passport and visa.
- Presence: the belongings are cleared after their owner has arrived in Australia, not before.
- New items: anything owned for less than 12 months bears duty and tax.
- Students: shared boxes by sea, and a carton or two by air for their first weeks.
Details are on the furniture and household shipping page.
Can a car be shipped from Saudi Arabia to Australia?
In most cases, no. Australia drives on the left with right-hand drive, and cars from the Kingdom are left-hand drive. Importing any car needs a vehicle import approval before shipping, and it is granted for left-hand drive only in limited cases, among them very old cars, and on each state’s conditions. A car that arrives without approval is sent back or destroyed at its owner’s cost. The destinations that accept cars from the Kingdom are in the article on car shipping from Saudi Arabia.
What cannot be shipped to Australia, or needs a permit
| Item | Position |
|---|---|
| Food, seeds, plants and soil | Not allowed among belongings, except what is declared and permitted |
| Anything containing asbestos | Banned outright, including some old car parts and appliances |
| Raw wood, straw and bamboo | Declared and inspected, and may be treated |
| Medicines | Personal quantities with a prescription, and some need a permit |
| Weapons and banned knives | Strict rules |
| Tobacco and alcohol | Duty is paid on them in unaccompanied effects |
The general list is on the prohibited items page.
Delivery in Australian cities
| City | Port |
|---|---|
| Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong | Port Botany in Sydney |
| Canberra | Sydney, about 290 km |
| Melbourne and Geelong | Port of Melbourne |
| Brisbane and the Gold Coast | Port of Brisbane |
| Perth | Fremantle |
| Adelaide | Port Adelaide, or Melbourne and then by road |
Distances between Australian cities are vast, so we ship to your city’s port, not to the port nearest the Kingdom. More on the destination is on the shipping to Australia page.
