“We support Vanuatu’s vital seasonal workers with dedicated, cost-effective shipping for their personal goods, ensuring a reliable connection home.”

Guiding freight operations from Australia & New Zealand back home to Vanuatu

A21 Logistics is specialized with container imports back home to Vanuatu for the Seasonal Workers Program in Australia and the Regional Seasonal Employment Program in New Zealand.

Often, companies who employ Ni-Vanuatu are not aware that there is Vanuatu freight-forwarding service that provides for the workers to join together and consolidate a container of goods and personal effects that they wish to bring back to Vanuatu.

On that same note, often the workers themselves are not aware.
We seek to raise awareness of this service as it is of great assistance to their families.
Given the broader range of products and goods available in Australia and New Zealand it is of great value to the people to bring home much needed quality items.
These may include clothing, audio equipment, sports equipment, furniture and mattresses. Bicycles, outboard engines and fishing equipment are some of the common items that people seek to bring back home.
For customs declarations the principal customs broker will require a full inventory list with the names of the workers, a copy of their passport(s) and contact details. This is imperative!
Many seem to think they pack load and collect…

There are always cyclical delays, and many arrive back home, forget again, and go far away, so it is best to get friend, tawi, mama, abu, whoever to know they have goods in Port Vila. So can carry on to our beautiful islands and live life.

Supporting Seasonal Workers: Reliable Logistics for Import and Export Goods

The Seasonal Worker Program is crucial for Vanuatu’s economy, supporting labor remittances. We recognize that these shipments are highly personal and budget-sensitive. We offer dedicated, cost-effective shipping solutions specifically designed to help workers move their personal goods and accumulated effects reliably and affordably between Vanuatu, Australia, and New Zealand.

Consolidating and Securing Personal Baggage

Whether workers are exporting goods back home or bringing essential items to Australia or New Zealand, we specialize in baggage consolidation services. We help maximize container space for LCL shipments to Vanuatu, driving down the overall freight costs for small, high-volume personal effects. We ensure careful packing and crating to protect these items during transit.

Navigating Temporary Customs Rules

We advise on the temporary import/export status of these goods to minimize duty and tax implications. When shipping to Australia or New Zealand, certain items must be declared to Vanuatu Customs and Biosecurity. Our team helps prepare the necessary inventory lists and documentation to facilitate efficient repatriation of goods, ensuring a smooth transition both ways.
