Key Considerations for Shipping Your Parcel to Australia

Sending a parcel from Germany to Australia means it may travel over 14,000 km. Proper preparation is essential for smooth delivery. We're here to guide you through the key points for international shipping.

How to Properly Pack a Parcel for Australia

One of the main causes of delays or returns is improper or insufficient packaging, increasing the risk of damage. It’s important to ensure your parcel is securely packed to avoid issues and protect your goods.

Use standard-sized boxes whenever possible to get the best rates. Choose packaging that’s strong enough to withstand transport. Even though the box doesn’t directly touch its contents, external pressure can still affect the inside.

Use shock-absorbing padding like bubble wrap or polystyrene to fill empty space and protect contents from pressure. Make sure there’s enough cushioning to keep items from moving inside the box.

What Are the Maximum Dimensions for Shipping to Australia?

Carriers use a formula called girth measurement to determine the size limits for a parcel. The formula is: (Height + Width) × 2 + Length, in centimeters.

As a general rule, the maximum girth is 300 cm, with a weight limit of 31.5 kg.

Example:

A 60 × 60 × 60 cm cube has a girth of 300 cm - so does a parcel measuring 120 × 60 × 30 cm.

Note: These limits can vary by carrier. Each provider has its own rules for weight, size, and price. Based on your data, JUMiNGO compares your information with carrier requirements and shows you only the offers that match. If your parcel exceeds the girth limit, it is considered bulky freight or pallet shipment, and JUMiNGO will suggest suitable alternatives for shipments to Australia.

How to Address a Parcel Correctly for Australia

Write the name and street first, followed by the city and state abbreviation. Below is an example with correct formatting, including the final line indicating the destination country:

Example:

Mr. Pete Miller
Mainstreet 111
Brisbane QLD 4000
AUSTRALIA

Don’t forget to add "AUSTRALIA" to make the international destination clear.

Which Items Are Prohibited When Shipping to Australia?

To ensure smooth delivery, it’s important to know which items cannot be shipped. Restrictions are often in place for safety or legal reasons, either due to national regulations or carrier policies.

Always check whether your goods are on the list of prohibited items before sending your parcel.

Items Generally Prohibited from Import into Australia:

• Tobacco, alcohol (including alcohol-infused confectionery), and all types of drugs
• Weapons, ammunition, fireworks
• Animal products
• Protected plants and animals

• Counterfeit goods, fake securities, and money
• Dangerous goods, including certain chemicals
• Documents with anti-constitutional content
• Precious metals and currency

Additional Items Often Restricted by Carriers:

• Batteries and accumulators
• Works of art
• Antiques

Important: If your parcel contains multiple restricted items, or even one item that is prohibited, the entire shipment may be refused.
