Transport

Moving to Australia or overseas can be an exciting but stressful time. Hooker Pacific Moving & Storage have years of experience in transporting your household and personal effects safely around the world.

We offer a full range of options to Australia depending on your moving requirements.

  • Sole-use containers – a shipping container (20ft or 40ft) dedicated to you for all your household and personal effects. This  includes vehicle relocations.
  • Group age containers – share a shipping container with other people (very cost effective option if you have smaller shipments or can not fully utilize the space in the container yourself.)
  • Air transport – Hooker Pacific can offer this service on selected items. This is a much quicker transit time than sea transport; however there is a premium associated with this.

These items need to be cleaned thoroughly before export, however they can still be subject to fumigation or steam cleaning on arrival into Australia. Festive decorations and or wreaths containing dried vegetable matter including pine cones will be subject to further treatment or destruction upon entry into Australia.

Please be aware that any new furniture and household goods are subject to customs duties and GST. You must declare them if you have not owned them for 12 months or they were not used by the importer for 12 Months.
