Packing your goods correctly is an important factor in ensuring that they arrive safely at the destination. Some useful tips to assist you:
Ensure that your chosen packaging is in good condition eg: suitcases not ripped or damaged.
Acceptable packaging - suitcases, backpacks, cardboard cartons, plastic drums.
If you can't lift the item, it is too heavy!!
Be aware that it is an offence to carry Dangerous Goods .
Industry approved quality packing cartons are available for sale from Freight Companies
Bicycle packs are often available from your local bike shops.
It is recommended that you complete a packing list. Attach this to the documentation accompanying your freight.
Padlocking suitcases and securely taping cartons is recommended.
All items must be individually labelled with your
Name
Address at destination
Phone Number at destination
Particularly fragile items should be professionally packed to minimise the risk of damage. Ask the company for referrals to quality packing companies.
NB: Separate insurance is recommended for breakable and valuable items.

Sending Your Pets Back Home
Exportair, a local Airfreight company, extends its services to include the transport of your pets and other live animals to most worldwide destinations. You have the choice of: arranging the transport yourself or placing it in the hands of a pet handling agency. If you will be making the arrangements yourself, you will need to arrange the following things before contacting Exportair to make the booking:
Quarantine Requirements : As Australia is free of most diseases, obtaining the permit you will require is a relatively simple procedure. Contact the Quarantine Department AQIS on (08) 9311 5352 to find out the requirements for your destination. They will advise you if an import permit is required for your destination country and the procedure to apply for an Export Permit and Health Certificate where applicable.
Animal Transport Containers : You will need to organise a crate or container for your pet to travel in, wooden crates are preferred for dogs. To determine the best size crate take the measurements of your animal: height, length and width in centimetres, as this will help to determine the most economical crate size. You will then be given the appropriate crate size in centimetres.
Organising the Flight : Once you have organised the above points, you are ready to make the booking with Exportair for the transport of your animal. Contact the provider 7 to 10 days prior to the date you wish your pet to fly.
At this time the freight company will require the following details:
Name, address and telephone number of the person to receive the animal at the destination
The actual weight of the animal and crate combined
Import permit number (if applicable)
Dimensions of crate in centimetres
They will also need to know if you require the animal to be on the same flight as yourself. This can only be done if adequate time is allowed for transit, as animals must fly on the most direct route.
What to do after the Booking : Exportair will make the booking with the airline on your behalf. If there are any problems with the booking you will be contacted immediately. You need to make a booking with Quarantine for the morning of the day before your flight (as early as possible). After your Quarantine appointment you must come immediately to Exportair with your documentation and payment (cash only). Your pet must be available for Exportair to see them at this time. Exportair will advise you exactly where and at what time you need to deliver your pet to the airline prior to the flight.
