Our efficient haulage service will see your shipment transported from its original location to our secure warehouse at WWCF HQ. Once here, your goods will be checked to make sure everything is accounted for and in a suitable condition. Once this cross-check is completed, we'll load your items into shipping containers, ready for the next leg.
Don't get slowed down by red tape! We have a dedicated team of experienced Customs Brokers who will take steps to guarantee compliance with all regulations associated with transporting your goods in and out of Australia.
Having worked with you to identify the preferred and most appropriate method of transport, we'll carry your cargo to its destination country.
Once again, our highly-experienced team of Customs Brokers will ensure all steps have been taken to allow your goods into their destination country.
Once cleared by customs officials in the destination country, we’ll arrange safe onward transportation of your cargo.
We can transport your goods to and from any domestic or international destination. For imports, you’ll enjoy access to an Australia-wide delivery network comprising sea, air, road, and rail, so you’ll be in receipt of your goods in the fastest time.
Most commonly, shipping containers tend to be 20- and 40-foot. However, we can investigate and recommend bigger or smaller containers if that’s more appropriate for your shipment. Whatever your requirements, our people will work with you to recommend the solution that will best meet your needs.

International commercial terms (or inco terms) comprise 11 rules and associated abbreviations designed to outline the roles, responsibilities, risks, and costs of the international transport of goods. In Australia, these are updated annually by the government. Our team will work with you at the start of every project to ascertain which of these terms applies to your shipment.
Currently, Australia’s inco terms are as follows:
EXW - Ex-Works
The buyer assumes the majority of cost and risk throughout the entire shipping process. The seller only has to ensure that the buyer can access their goods.
FCA - Free Carrier
The seller has the responsibility to transport their goods to the buyer’s carrier, at a location both parties agree on, and also clear goods for export.
CPT - Carriage Paid To
The seller has the responsibility to transport their goods to the buyer’s carrier, at a location both parties agree on, and cover all delivery costs. They must also clear goods for export.
CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid to
The seller has the responsibility to transport their goods to the buyer’s carrier, at a location both parties agree on, and cover all carriage, insurance (maximum level), and delivery costs. They must also clear goods for export.
DPU - Delivered at Place Unloaded (previously DAT - Delivered At Terminal)
The seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved in delivering goods to an agreed unloading location. The seller covers customs clearance and manages the unloading, the buyer covers import clearance and related duties.
DAP - Delivered At Place
The seller is required to cover the costs and risk throughout the transport process until the goods reach their location and are ready to be unloaded.
DDP - Delivered Duty Paid
The seller assumes the majority of the cost and risk throughout the entire shipping process, makes sure they’re available to be unloaded, and fulfills any import or export responsibilities and fees.
FAS - Free Alongside Ship
The seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved until goods are delivered to the following ship. The buyer then assumes all risk and any import or export clearance.
FOB - Free On Board
The seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved until goods are delivered on board the ship. They also manage export clearance. The buyer assumes all responsibility once the goods are on board.
CFR - Cost And Freight
The seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved, assumes all responsibility for the goods once they’re on board, and covers this until goods are delivered to the port.
CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight
The seller is responsible for all costs and risks involved, including insurance (at minimum 110% of invoice value), and assumes all responsibility for the goods once they’re on board. This remains valid until goods are delivered to the port. Additional insurance cover is arranged by the seller at the buyer’s cost.
