Seamless Shipping From the USA to Australia
Shipping your goods from the US to Australia requires precision, reliable transit times, and careful handling to keep your supply chain running smoothly. Your cargo, whether fragile or perishable, also needs specialised care, along with consistent service to ensure it arrives on time. MCC offers door-to-door and port-to-port freight forwarding, tailored to your business needs.
With MCC third-party logistics services (3PL), you don’t have to deal with the complexities of international shipping. We handle the entire process, securing cargo space, managing handling and loading, completing customs documentation, and organising inland transportation. And with our real-time tracking technology, you’ll always know exactly where your shipment is and when it will arrive.
USA to Australia Sea Freight
Sea freight is generally the cheapest mode of transportation for cargo between the USA and Australia. Here’s what we offer:
- Full Container Load (FCL) – Best for businesses with large shipments that require direct, secure transport with minimal handling, ensuring faster transit times and reduced risk.
- Less than Container Load (LCL) – A cost-effective way for e-commerence and retail companies to test new product lines, ship seasonal inventory, or manage smaller textile shipments without overcommitting.
- Breakbulk & Oversized Cargo – Suitable for furniture, construction materials, and large-scale retail fixtures that exceed container size limits.
Warehousing Solutions and Final Mile Delivery
If your cargo requires storage upon arrival, MCC provides comprehensive warehousing solutions, including bonded and non-bonded storage, container unpacking, palletisation, and cross-docking.
We also facilitate last-mile distribution through an integrated transport network, including road freight, ensuring your goods are delivered efficiently across Australia without the need for multiple service providers.
USA to Australia Air Freight
Air freight keeps shipments moving at speed, cutting transit times between the USA and Australia. Whether it’s standard, express, or specialised handling, we tailor solutions to match the urgency and requirements of each shipment. With direct airline partnerships, we access competitive pricing for all our clients.
Transit Times from the USA to Australia
Shipping timelines depend on the route, freight type, and customs clearance. Generally speaking though, you can expect the following:
- Air Freight: 3–7 days, with faster options on direct flights from Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
- Sea Freight: 3–6 weeks, with West Coast ports like Los Angeles offering quicker sailings than East Coast departures.
- FCL vs. LCL: Full Container Load (FCL) ships sooner, while Less than Container Load (LCL) takes longer due to consolidation.
Customs, port congestion, and inland transport can also affect the final delivery date. MCC prioritises direct routes, fast clearance, and efficient coordination to keep shipments moving at speed.
