Shipping from Dubai
to Christmas Island.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing in Dubai, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Yes. The car goes inside a container, sealed and protected, and we handle the export paperwork in Dubai. Christmas Island sets its own rules on vehicle age, specification and approval, and duty on a vehicle is worked out differently from general cargo, so tell us the make, model and year first and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

We could not verify a current published transit range for this territory, so we do not print one. The island is served infrequently, which makes the sailing schedule more important than the transit time. We quote the routing we can actually book and tell you the cutoff.

Australian federal guidance is that a road vehicle import approval is not required merely to import a vehicle into an Australian External Territory, and Christmas Island is one. That is different from the mainland, where the approval must be obtained before importation. We could not verify a maximum vehicle age. Send us the vehicle details and we will confirm the current position.

That is a separate process with its own requirements, so the island should not be treated as a staging post into the mainland. The relief from the mainland approval applies to importing into the external territory, not to what happens afterwards. Ask us before you plan a move in two stages.

Christmas Island has its own biosecurity import conditions, separate from ordinary mainland Australian domestic movement. Depending on the goods, a permit, pre-shipment processing, inspection, treatment or certification may be required, and required treatment has to be completed before dispatch rather than on arrival. That makes it our job in Dubai, which is why we ask about the product first.

No, it is in the Indian Ocean, north west of Australia, which is a common source of confusion because of the name and because it is often grouped with Pacific territories. It also should not be confused with Kiritimati in Kiribati, which is sometimes called Christmas Island and is an entirely different country.

It depends on what you send and how big it is. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Any biosecurity treatment is done in Dubai and quoted with the freight rather than left as a surprise. Send us the details.

Flying Fish Cove, Poon Saan, Silver City, Drumsite and Kampong. The island is small, so once cargo is off the wharf the delivery leg is short. The settlements are few, and we would rather list the real ones than pad the page.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Christmas Island door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, arrange any pre-shipment treatment, move them, clear the border requirements and bring them to your address.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

No. The territory’s import conditions apply to air cargo just as they do to sea freight, and Christmas Island Airport is an approved first point of entry for international aircraft and goods for exactly that reason. Air changes the speed, not the rules.

Yes, at both ends. We do customs clearance in Dubai and handle the border and biosecurity documentation applicable to the external territory on arrival.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until the right sailing, which matters on an island served infrequently.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads. Household effects are assessed under the territory’s biosecurity conditions, so an accurate packing list is worth real time here. We could not verify the customs and tax treatment for a household move, so we confirm that rather than assuming the mainland position carries across.

Yes. We move project cargo to Christmas Island as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. Used machinery needs particular attention to cleaning, because soil and organic matter are what biosecurity looks for, and treatment is far easier to do in Dubai than to fix at the island.
