Compare FOB freight estimates from Shenzhen, China to Australia. These examples use the same pricing engine as our shipping calculator.
Pricing configuration updated 21/10/2026. Indicative estimates, subject to freight availability and confirmation. Origin collection from other Chinese cities requires a separate quote.
All freight estimates below are in Australian dollars (AUD). Declared goods values in RMB, USD or AUD describe the example cargo for pricing and tax calculations; they are not freight prices or currency conversions of the shipping charge.
What these estimates assume
General, non-sensitive cargo; no oversized items; commercial delivery with unloading access. LCL rates are shown per CBM (cubic metre), using the calculator’s volume-based charging option. The example shipment is 1 CBM; weight is a billing assumption only (100 kg). Dense cargo and minimum billable volumes can increase the charged CBM. Air examples use 100 kg actual weight and 0.1 m³, with 100 kg chargeable weight. Container examples use one 20FT or 40HC container. LCL examples show separate cargo-value bands when configured. Exactly the threshold amount stays in the lower band; the higher rate applies only above it. Air examples use AUD 1,000 of goods; FCL examples use the USD equivalent of AUD 10,000 at the configured exchange rate. Each breakdown states its declared goods value.
Prices use the configured standard service, not a confirmed sailing or postcode-specific delivery quote. Local China pickup, insurance, special handling, inspections, storage, residential unloading and remote-area surcharges are excluded. Transit timing depends on the service; see each breakdown for the starting point. Inspection delays are excluded. Final costs depend on your shipment and address.
FOB is a trade term, not a transport mode. These examples assume the supplier pays the China origin charges. Spotyard's configured freight and destination service charges are shown; import duty and GST are payable separately.

Calculate your shipment →Separate supplier obligations from destination costs
FOB is a sea-freight trade term. These examples assume the supplier covers the configured China origin charges; they do not mean that Australian import duty and GST are included. Compare the supplier’s named port and agreed obligations with the freight quotation.
- Confirm the supplier’s named shipment port and what its FOB price covers.
- Budget separately for the import duty and GST identified in the breakdown.
- Confirm destination handling, delivery, unloading and any inspection charges.
Delivery to Australia
The displayed examples use delivery postcodes 3000, 2000, 4000, 6000, 5000. These examples do not establish a flat rate for every suburb or regional address. Send your actual postcode, whether the address is commercial or residential, and whether a forklift or other unloading equipment is available.
Calculate the same shipment with your own dimensions and weight, then request a written quote before booking.
