- Our Containers leave Bali when they are full so there is no guarantee on exactly when its departure will be each time nor when it will exactly arrive.
- Our prices are done on a FULL CONTAINER LOAD so you are getting a very reasonable price, you can however import yourself and have your goods come as soon as they are ready, you will then pay a higher price for cargo and you then also need to clear customs, quarantine and pay the Australian charges of Duty, GST and any other costs.
- Beware of shops in Bali where you buy your products offering you cheap freight as this also will only be from port to Port and you will then have to pay the extra costs of clearing customs, quarantine and pay the Australian charges of Duty, GST and all other costs along with broker fees.
