TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Have to Say
“After several years of failed attempts at finding a reliable agent to represent Trans Global in Australia, we partnered with Dazmac. Their level of customer service, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge about import requirements has greatly increased our value to clients. Dazmac has finally allowed us to offer a level of customer service that we feel can not be matched in the market.”

A short note to say thanks for the professional and ethical manner in which you process the Customs and AQUIS requirements for our boat SeaQuill. You made the complexities look simple and removed a whole load of stress and uncertainty. I would recommend your services to anyone you needs assistance with a “Sailing under own power” clearance.

Please pass on to the team that I really appreciate your guys’ help with this one. The trailer was in perfect condition and was delivered without a hitch (the customer is also very happy to finally have it).

Just a quick to say thanks for the ease of which my boat cleared customs. I basically just had to hook it up and tow it home. Pass on my thanks to Otis also.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a freight forwarder?
Choosing a freight forwarder involves more than just comparing prices—it’s about reliability, compliance, and communication.
Start by looking at the company’s experience in your specific type of shipment (e.g. commercial goods, vehicles, medical equipment). A forwarder who understands your industry will be better equipped to manage customs requirements, documentation, and potential risks.
You should also assess their global network and partnerships. Strong relationships with carriers and agents in destination countries can significantly reduce delays and unexpected costs.
Transparency is another key factor. A reputable freight forwarder will clearly explain timelines, costs, and responsibilities upfront, without vague estimates or hidden fees.
Finally, consider their communication and support. You want a partner who provides regular updates, responds quickly, and can proactively solve issues if something goes wrong during transit.
Who is the best freight forwarder?
There is no single “best” freight forwarder for every situation—the right choice depends on your specific needs.
For example, a business shipping large volumes internationally may benefit from a global logistics provider with extensive infrastructure, while a smaller business or individual may prefer a more specialised or boutique forwarder offering personalised service.
Instead of focusing on brand names alone, it’s more effective to evaluate:
- Experience with your type of shipment
- Coverage in your origin and destination countries
- Customer reviews and proven track record
- Transparency in pricing and timelines
The “best” freight forwarder is ultimately the one that aligns with your shipment requirements, budget, and expectations for service.
How do I make an international shipment?
Making an international shipment typically involves several coordinated steps.
First, you’ll need to prepare your goods for transport, including proper packaging and accurate documentation such as commercial invoices and packing lists.
Next, a freight forwarder will help you choose the most suitable shipping method—air freight for speed, or sea freight for cost efficiency—based on your timeline and budget.
Customs clearance is a critical stage. Your forwarder will assist with required declarations, duties, and compliance with both export and import regulations.
Finally, the shipment is transported to its destination and delivered either to a port, warehouse, or final address depending on the agreed service (e.g. port-to-port or door-to-door).
Working with an experienced freight forwarder helps streamline this entire process and reduces the risk of delays or compliance issues.
How much does a freight forwarder charge?
Freight forwarding costs can vary significantly depending on several factors.
The main cost drivers include the size and weight of your shipment, the shipping method (air vs sea), the distance between origin and destination, and the level of service required (e.g. door-to-door vs port-to-port).
Additional costs may include customs duties, taxes, insurance, handling fees, and documentation charges.
As a general guide:
- Air freight is faster but more expensive
- Sea freight is more cost-effective for larger shipments but takes longer
Most freight forwarders will provide a tailored quote based on your shipment details. It’s important to ensure that quotes are comprehensive and include all potential fees, so you can accurately compare options and avoid unexpected costs.
