Case Overview: Ms. Sun entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship furniture and belongings from her home in Xuzhou to Cairns, Australia by sea.

Cairns, a city in northern Queensland, Australia, is like a brilliant pearl set in the tropical rainforest. As Queensland's tropical gateway, it attracts many people to settle here with its high quality of life, livable environment, and more job opportunities.

After obtaining her Australian visa, Ms. Sun from Xuzhou chose to settle in Cairns. Due to sentimental attachment and to save costs, she decided to ship her furniture and belongings from China to Cairns for continued use. Through a friend's introduction, Ms. Sun found Seapoe Relo and entrusted the company to complete this international moving journey for her.

In the early stage of the move, Ms. Sun went through an on-site assessment and measurement, received a quotation plan, and confirmed the moving plan before signing the contract and officially starting the move.

The movers arrived at the agreed time with packing materials and packed every item. For furniture that needed disassembly, the movers disassembled it before packing. After packing was completed, an itemized list was created on site, each item was labeled with a number, and the packed items were then collected.

After Ms. Sun's belongings cleared customs, the container was delivered to the door. The items were placed in their designated positions in each room, the outer packaging of large furniture was removed and the furniture was simply reassembled, and the packaging waste was taken away afterward. Below is the packing scene from that day:

All the items Ms. Sun brought to Cairns, Australia were used items, and since she is a new immigrant, she was eligible for tax exemption! In addition, moving costs depend on the volume of items; for sea freight, the larger the cubic volume, the cheaper the price per unit.

The Australian government stipulates that new immigrants or citizens who have lived overseas may bring personal items used in their place of residence for more than one year into Australia duty-free. The required documents are as follows:

1. Australian passport + Chinese long-term visa of more than one year
2. Chinese passport + Australian permanent residence visa
3. Chinese passport + work visa of more than 12 months or 3 years
