Freight costs aren't just about freight rates.

Fuel prices, carrier surcharges, congestion and vessel routing decisions all influence the final cost of moving goods.

When reviewing your freight spend, look at your total landed cost rather than focusing solely on the shipping rate.

A small change in fuel or operational costs can have a bigger impact than many businesses realise.

Peak season pressure often starts well before Christmas.

A shipment delayed by just a week in October or November can quickly become a stock issue in December.

If you're importing retail goods, manufacturing inputs or building products, now is the time to:
Confirm supplier production schedules
Review inventory levels
Book freight early where possible
Allow contingency time for delays

The businesses that prepare early usually avoid the last-minute freight scramble.

A big development for Australian air freight.

Western Sydney International’s new Cargo Precinct is now operational, bringing 24-hour freight operations and significant new air cargo capacity to Greater Sydney.

For Australian importers and exporters, it could mean greater flexibility and new routing options as airline services continue to develop.

We’ll be watching this one with interest.

Applicable Australian products entering the US are now subject to an additional 12.5% Section 301 tariff, although exemptions apply to certain products and tariff classifications.

Before your next shipment, check the applicable classification and whether your goods qualify for an exemption.

Shipping from Asia? Plan ahead.

Port congestion, weather disruptions, and tightening capacity are pressuring schedules across Asia, while freight rates from Southeast Asia to Australia have also been climbing.

With peak season and Chinese holidays approaching, allow extra lead time and book early where possible.

Our team is monitoring conditions closely and will keep clients updated on any changes affecting their shipments.

Typhoon No. 18 "Saudel" is expected to make landfall in East China today, 28 August. This has led to temporary closures of Shanghai, Xiamen and Ningbo Ports, with impacts including:
• Depot and terminal closures
• Vessel berthing and departure delays
• Trucking and cargo delivery delays
• Vessel schedule changes, omissions and cargo rollovers
• Further congestion following the resumption of normal port operations

We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as they become available.
