Why Export To China?
China is Australia’s number one export country – in 2018, we exported goods worth a huge AU$118 billion. Our most significant exports into China are in iron ores, coal and natural gas. China also imports huge amounts of precious stones, wool, livestock, cereals and wood from Australia.
China has seen rapid economic growth in recent years, with millions being lifted out of poverty. It has a huge population of around 1.4 billion and a growing middle class. Growth has led to an increased demand for imported products, creating new opportunities for Australian businesses to sell to high-earning consumers with large disposable incomes who are hungry for the products our country has to offer.

The ChAFTA Free Trade Agreement
Exporting to China has been made a lot easier in recent years thanks to the ChAFTA(China-Australia Free Trade Agreement) which came into force in 2015. This pact has led to increasingly preferential rates for Australian companies wanting to import goods into China. Many items can now enter China tariff-free – great news for Australian exporters.
Freight Forwarding to China And Beyond
If you’re going to carry out freight forwarding to China, you need to know you’re doing it with a service provider you can fully trust. Freight forwarding is a specialized industry, and operations between Australia and the rest of the planet are made all the more complicated because of our geographical distance from the majority of other countries. While Papua New Guinea, our nearest neighbor, is just 6km from Australian shores, China is a colossal 7,500km away. This is huge compared to Asian and European countries who often share borders, making it much more straightforward to trade goods.
Air & Sea Freight Forwarder China
If you’re looking to export to China from Australia, you’ll need to decide whether sending the items via sea or the ocean is the best option for your needs. As a quick guide, air freight to China takes around 1-5 days with TSL Australia and is the more expensive option. It is best used for cargo that is relatively light and does not take up too much space. Sea freight takes longer – think in terms of 18-35 days, depending on which part of China you are exporting to. Ocean transportation is more suited to consignments that are heavy, oversized or bulky.
