Q: Is it worth importing heavy machinery into Australia?

While sometimes you won’t have a choice, importing machinery requires much less effort than you may think when you have experts like DAZMAC helping you. We make sure your transport is imported safely with every import permit taken care of. Our ability to manage the whole importing machinery into Australia process on your behalf, makes the task more worthwhile.

Q: How do I avoid delays when importing machinery?

In most cases, delays are caused by incomplete paperwork, or the equipment doesn’t clear customs or border controls. You can prevent delays by ensuring that the machinery is ready for shipping in a clean and dismantled state. This will allow inspection officers easier access to all areas of your import, for a quicker evaluation.

Q: What does a RO/RO Shipping Vessel look like?

If you’ve ever wanted to see the inside of the vessel that gets machinery transported, we created a special virtual tour of a RO/RO vessel for you to get a better understanding of what they look like.

Q: Does used machinery differ from new machinery?

Yes. A used machine will be subject to far greater scrutiny from border controls, especially those used items that have come in contact with Biosecurity Risk Materials, like plant material.

risks

What Are the Risks I Should Be Aware Of?

The main risks of moving big pieces of freight often include various challenges that require experienced handling. Imported machinery requires a skilled and experienced team like the one at DAZMAC to help mitigate these risks involved.

Loss or Damage to Cargo

Even containerised machinery can still encounter the risk of damage. Working with reputable service providers will help ensure better handling and care of your import conditions.

Cargo Too Big for Container

Big bulky items can be difficult to accommodate and handle in shipping containers and require dismantling. The more an item can be in a dismantled state the better.

Import Licenses Required

Getting in contact with the relevant authority department prior to shipping and getting your import permit issued on time will help ensure a smoother process.

Biosecurity Risk Material

To protect plant and animal health all machines will be inspected for BRM to ensure their safe usage in Australia. Machinery cleanliness will be heavily scrutinized, especially in used machinery.
