Why use air freight imports from Thailand to Australia?
Shipping goods on a plane is naturally the quickest way of getting them into Australia from Thailand. With TSL, air freight imports from Thailand to Australia typically take between one and six days. This method is, however, more expensive than sending it via the ocean. The total time taken will depend on a number of factors, such as where your pick-up and delivery points are, and how much inland transportation is required in each country.
Why Trade With Thailand?
There are several reasons why you may choose to do business with Thailand as an Australian company. Thailand is a regional and global manufacturing hub for vehicles, automotive components, consumer electronics, and processed food and beverages. It is also a leading exporter of agricultural commodities (particularly rice, palm oil, rubber sugar, and seafood).
The total merchandise trade between Australia and Thailand (covering both imports and exports) was A$11.1 billion in 2016-17. Thailand’s first trading partner is the US, which receives around 11.4% of Thai exports. The next is China; this country receives about 11% of Thai exports. Japan is third, receiving about 9.6% of Thai exports. Australia is 14th, receiving roughly 1.8% of Thai exports.
