A Real Example of Our Documentation Support
A customer shipping stainless steel kitchenware from Shenzhen to Melbourne had 60 cartons weighing 1320 KG ready for air shipment. However, the initial documents only listed a general product name and did not clearly state the stainless steel material, specific product types, or declared value for each item.
Our team reviewed the paperwork, confirmed the missing details with the supplier, and helped revise the commercial invoice and packing list with more specific product descriptions, material information, quantities, and declared values.
The cargo was successfully delivered to Melbourne within 10 days by air freight DDP, and the customer was satisfied with the smooth shipping process and document support.
What Happens If Customs Requires Additional Information for My Shipment?
If Australian customs requests additional information, our team will first review the request and identify exactly what is missing or needs clarification. We then coordinate with the supplier or customer to collect the required product specifications, material details, commercial documents, or supporting certificates and submit the information as required.
For example, if customs questions the declared product description or value, we can verify the details with the supplier and help provide the corresponding documentation. This reduces the need for you to communicate with multiple parties and helps keep the shipment moving.
If your shipment encounters a customs information request, reach out to our team and we can help coordinate the required information and documentation.
Can the Shipping Plan Be Adjusted When My Cargo Volume Changes?
