Shenglin Logistics specialises in dedicated China–Oceania freight services, with in-house biosecurity expertise and local licensed clearance partners across Australia and New Zealand. We handle every step from factory pickup to final-mile delivery, so you can ship with zero compliance worries.

Biosecurity Compliance: We Handle the Strictest Rules for You

Australia’s DAFF and New Zealand’s MPI enforce the toughest border biosecurity standards in the world. Non-compliance – even accidental – leads to cargo detention, forced fumigation, destruction or re-export, with costs ranging from AUD 2,000 to over AUD 15,000 per container.

Our 4-Layer Compliance Guarantee

We eliminate 90% of common biosecurity failures before your cargo leaves China:

  1. Pre-shipment cargo audit – Full review of product materials, packaging and accessories to identify risk items
  2. ISPM 15 packaging verification – Certified wood packaging supplier network, full IPPC marking inspection before loading
  3. Accurate declaration support – Professional document preparation aligned with DAFF/MPI requirements
  4. Local clearance defence – On-the-ground licensed brokers handle inspections, queries and treatments if required

Key Biosecurity Rules You Should Know

Universal rules for both Australia & New Zealand

  • All solid wood packaging (pallets, crates, dunnage) must be ISPM 15 treated with official IPPC branding
  • Cargo and containers must be free of soil, seeds, plant debris and insect contamination
  • Truthful declaration of all plant, animal and natural organic components is mandatory

Australia (DAFF) key requirements

  • Bark tolerance on wood packaging: max 3cm width, or total area under 50cm² per piece
  • Prohibited without permit: fresh meat, raw eggs, fresh produce, viable seeds, bird’s nest, raw hides
  • Required documents: commercial invoice, detailed packing list, phytosanitary certificate (for plant goods), import permit (controlled items)

New Zealand (MPI) key requirements

  • Zero bark tolerance on all wood packaging – stricter than global ISPM 15 standards
  • All honey and bee products are prohibited without special approval
  • Used machinery must be fully cleaned and free of soil residue
