Frequently Asked Questions: Freight Forwarder Sydney
Below are the most common questions businesses ask when importing or exporting through Sydney. These FAQs are tailored to Australian Border Force (ABF) requirements, NSW biosecurity rules, and Port Botany operational procedures.
Do I need a customs broker when importing through Port Botany?
Yes. While it isn’t a legal requirement, using a licensed customs broker ensures your shipment meets all Australian Border Force and Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) regulations. Navia’s in-house brokers manage documentation, tariff classification, duty rates, and compliant clearance to prevent avoidable delays.
What biosecurity risks does NSW check for at the border?
NSW biosecurity inspections commonly assess risks such as:
- Contaminated or untreated timber pallets
- Soil, seeds, plant material or insects
- Animal-based products (including hides, fibres, proteins, dairy)
- Food-grade goods requiring strict origin and treatment documentation
High-risk shipments may undergo X-ray, physical inspection, fumigation, or treatment before release.
How long does customs clearance take in Sydney?
Clearance can take as little as a few hours if documentation is correct, but delays occur when:
- Documentation is incomplete or inaccurate
- Goods trigger biosecurity inspection
- Duty/GST issues require clarification
- The arrival vessel is delayed at port
Navia monitors your clearance in real time and resolves bottlenecks before they escalate.
