What should you pay attention to if you want to send a package to Australia?

Australia is an island with very strict border control. Therefore, if you are going to ship a package to Australia, it is very important to check the applicable laws and regulations. In any case, consider the following:

  • Some substances are hazardous, but may be shipped to some countries under strict(er) conditions. Read here more about shipping dangerous goods.
  • Australia is an island with strict border controls. So when it comes to shipping there, you need to be aware of its extra regulations and restrictions.
  • Providing clear, accurate and complete details and documents is key.

  • FedEx is unable to ship prohibited items on behalf of its customers, check our global shipping restrictions & prohibited items here.
  • Adding the recipient’s phone number and email to the commercial invoice and packing list will avoid clearance delays if we need to contact you for additional or missing information.
  • Certain goods require an import license or are subject to additional laws or strict regulations. You will find here more information you need if you want to send a package to Australia.

What documents do you need to send a package to Australia?


Shipping to Australia has the same basic requirements as most other countries, you will need to complete a commercial invoice and an air waybill.

It’s important to bear in mind that as an island, Australia must control its borders to ensure it remains free from diseases and protect its plants, animals and minerals. That’s why certain goods require an import permit. In addition, if you’re sending regulated goods (e.g., alcohol, medical devices or electronics) then you and the recipient may need to provide extra documents.
