What are the typical shipping transit times to the Balkans?

Transit times can vary based on the departure port in Australia and the destination port in Europe. Generally, ocean freight from major Australian ports to destination ports like Rijeka, Bar, or Ploče takes between 40 to 60 days. Please note that customs clearance and final transport to inland destinations can add additional days depending on the specific route and border crossings.

What documents do I need to prepare for my shipment?

Proper documentation is essential for seamless processing. For FCL exports from Australia, you typically need to prepare:

• Commercial Invoice: Detailing the goods, their value, and the terms of sale.
• Packing List: Specifying the contents, weight, and volume of the cargo.
• Bill of Lading: The official transport document issued once the container is loaded.
• Export Declaration (EDN): Required by Australian customs for all commercial exports.
• Certificate of Origin: If required for specific regulatory or tariff concessions.
