What Moving from Dubai to Australia Involves
Australia is one of the most biosecurity-strict destination countries in the world. Every household shipment arriving from Dubai must pass DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) biosecurity inspection on arrival — and items that fail inspection are treated, re-exported, or destroyed at the owner’s cost. Getting this right starts at the packing stage in Dubai, not at the Australian port.
Your shipment arrives on a Used Household Goods (UHG) declaration. Australian Border Force (ABF) and DAFF officers may inspect the container on arrival — Fusion prepares your documentation to minimise inspection risk and manages any treatment requirements that arise.
We manage this route end-to-end under a single contract: UAE packing and export at Jebel Ali, ocean freight, Australian customs entry, DAFF biosecurity clearance, and door-to-door delivery by our partner teams across Australia.

Vehicles & Pets — Moving to Australia
Motor Vehicles
Fusion ships cars and motorcycles from Dubai to Australia by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, on their own or with your household goods, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. UAE cars are left-hand drive, and Australia drives on the left. Import duty, tax and registration in Australia depend on the vehicle and your circumstances, so we check the current rules for your car at survey, before you commit to shipping it. The official guidance is published by Department of Infrastructure. See our Automobile Relocation page.
Pets to Australia
Australia is one of the most restrictive countries in the world for pet imports. All pets must spend time in post-arrival quarantine at the Mickleham facility in Victoria — currently 10 days for most dogs and cats. The process includes microchipping, vaccinations, blood titre test, parasite treatment, and an import permit. See our Pet Relocation page for full DAFF requirements.
Talk to a Biosecurity Specialist
Unsure whether an item will clear Australian biosecurity? Ask before you pack. Fusion advises on high-risk items at survey stage — before your goods are loaded.
How a Dubai to Australia Move Works
Your Move, Step by Step
Every Dubai to Australia move is managed under a single contract — one coordinator from your Dubai doorstep to your Australian address.
Free Pre-Move Survey
A Fusion surveyor visits your Dubai home — or conducts a video survey — to assess your volume, identify biosecurity-sensitive items, and confirm the appropriate shipping method. High-risk items are flagged for pre-treatment or exclusion from the shipment before packing begins.
Biosecurity Pre-Screening
Fusion reviews your inventory against DAFF biosecurity requirements before packing. Timber items, cane furniture, sporting equipment, and food items are identified and assessed. Items likely to fail biosecurity inspection are flagged and alternatives discussed.
Professional Packing
Our trained crew pack your household using double-wall cartons, tissue wrap, furniture blankets, and specialist crates. A detailed DAFF-compliant inventory is produced — including material descriptions for timber and organic items — as biosecurity declarations require item-level detail.
UAE Export Clearance
All UAE customs export documentation is managed — export declaration, packing list, commercial invoice, and Bill of Lading. Your container is sealed and transported to Jebel Ali Port under our supervision.
Ocean Freight & Tracking
Your container departs Jebel Ali on the next available sailing. You receive the Bill of Lading and vessel tracking.
Australian Customs Entry
On arrival, our Australian partner agent lodges the customs entry with Australian Border Force (ABF). A Used Household Goods declaration is submitted alongside the DAFF biosecurity import declaration.
DAFF Biosecurity Inspection
DAFF officers assess your shipment against biosecurity requirements. Fusion prepares documentation to minimise the inspection risk. If treatment is required (fumigation, steam cleaning), our agent coordinates this as quickly as possible to minimise delivery delay.
Door-to-Door Delivery
Once cleared, your goods are transported to your Australian delivery address by our partner team. Unpacking and debris removal available on request. Storage at the Australian end is available if your property is not yet ready.
Why Choose Fusion for Dubai to Australia
Biosecurity-Ready. ISO-Certified.
Moving to Australia from Dubai requires a moving company that understands DAFF biosecurity requirements as thoroughly as it understands ocean freight logistics. Here is what Fusion brings to this route.
DAFF Biosecurity — We Prepare You Before You Pack
Most biosecurity problems start at the packing stage, not at the Australian port. Fusion identifies high-risk items at survey stage — before anything is packed — and prepares DAFF-compliant documentation to minimise inspection and treatment risk on arrival.
Used Household Goods Concession — Correctly Applied
The used goods duty exemption has specific requirements. We document ownership and use history for your inventory at survey stage, preparing the evidence file that ABF may request. Getting this wrong means duty and GST assessments on your entire shipment.
All Five Mainland Ports Covered
Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle (Perth), and Adelaide — we have partner agents and delivery crews at every major Australian arrival port. Darwin and Hobart shipments are also managed through our network.
Pets to Australia — Quarantine Managed
Australian pet quarantine is mandatory and complex. Fusion manages the entire process — from DAFF import permit to Mickleham quarantine booking — coordinated with your household goods shipment timeline. See our Pet Relocation page

Dubai to Australia — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Move
Detailed answers to the most common questions about moving from Dubai to Australia. For personalised advice, or.
How long does it take to move from Dubai to Australia?
Ocean freight runs from Jebel Ali to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide, and the sailing time depends on the port; typical sea transit times are on our destinations overview. Add 3–5 days for UAE packing and export, and 3–7 days for Australian customs and biosecurity clearance. Air freight is available for urgent shipments.
What are the DAFF biosecurity requirements for household goods?
Every household shipment entering Australia must comply with DAFF biosecurity requirements. High-risk items include timber furniture (must be bark-free and insect-free), cane and rattan, animal products, seeds and dried plant material, and soil. Items failing biosecurity inspection will be treated (fumigated or steam cleaned at your cost), re-exported, or destroyed. Fusion prepares a DAFF-compliant inventory and advises on high-risk items at survey stage — before packing begins.
Do I pay import duty on my household goods?
Used household goods and personal effects imported by a person transferring residence to Australia are generally exempt from import duty under the Customs (Concession) Regulations. However, GST (10%) applies to goods valued above AUD 1,000 unless a specific concession applies. New or unused goods do not qualify for the used goods exemption. Fusion prepares your customs entry to correctly apply the used goods concession and calculates your GST exposure at quotation stage.
Can I ship my car from Dubai to Australia?
Fusion can ship a car from Dubai to Australia by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. UAE cars are left-hand drive, and Australia drives on the left. Whether your particular car can be imported and registered in Australia, and at what cost, depends on the vehicle and your circumstances — we check Australia’s current rules for it at survey, before you commit to shipping it. See our Automobile Relocation page.
Can I move my pets from Dubai to Australia?
Yes, but Australia has mandatory post-arrival quarantine for all cats and dogs — currently 10 days at the Mickleham facility in Victoria (all pets must transit through Melbourne). The process requires: DAFF import permit, microchipping, core vaccinations, blood titre test at an approved laboratory, internal and external parasite treatment, and a health certificate from a UAE government veterinarian. The process takes a minimum of 6 months from starting the titre test cycle. See our Pet Relocation page for current DAFF requirements.
What items cannot be shipped from Dubai to Australia?
Australia prohibits or restricts: fresh fruit, vegetables, and plant material; soil and sand; untreated timber with bark; live plants and seeds (without permit); straw and hay; CITES-regulated items; controlled drugs; certain firearms. Many items that are permitted are subject to DAFF inspection on arrival. Fusion provides a detailed prohibited and high-risk items list at survey stage.
What if DAFF holds or treats my shipment on arrival?
If DAFF requires treatment of items in your shipment, our Australian partner agent manages the treatment process — typically fumigation or steam treatment — and coordinates release as quickly as possible. Treatment costs are charged to the consignee and are not included in the original freight quotation. Fusion’s pre-departure biosecurity preparation is designed to minimise the risk of treatment on arrival.
Do you offer unpacking and placement at the Australian delivery address?
Yes — unpacking, furniture placement, and debris removal are available at the Australian end through our partner teams. These services are quoted separately at survey stage. If your Australian property is not ready when your container arrives, storage is available through our Australian partner network with re-delivery scheduled when you are ready. Moving to Australia?
