When shipping a container, getting the weight right is more than just ticking a box. An incorrect or missing Verified Gross Mass (VGM) can lead to additional costs, delays and even rolled cargo.

For exporters, these issues can mean missed sailings, unexpected expenses and unnecessary pressure on delivery schedules.

So, what happens when your VGM is wrong — and how can you avoid these problems?

We break down the potential costs, consequences and practical steps to help you prepare your shipment correctly.

The price you pay your supplier is only one part of the cost of getting your goods into Australia.

Your actual landed cost can also include:

• International freight
• Customs duty
• GST
• Port and terminal charges
• Customs clearance
• Local transport

If these costs aren't considered before you ship, your expected margin can change quickly.

At Sharp Blue, we can help you estimate the landed cost of your next shipment before it arrives.

Send us your shipment details and we'll help you understand the costs involved — before you ship.

If you're importing into Australia, which cost do you find hardest to estimate before your shipment arrives?

02/10/2026

Your goods could be on their way to Australia… but that doesn’t mean they’ll make it to your shelves. ⚠️

For new importers, some of the biggest problems start before the shipment even leaves the supplier.

A freight quote is only part of the picture.

🔹 Biosecurity
🔹 Landed cost
🔹 Documentation & supplier coordination

Miss one of these, and your “simple” import can quickly become a costly problem.

🎥 Watch the video to see the 3 critical points you need to understand before shipping.

For many importers, the most critical part of an international shipment begins after the vessel arrives in Australia.

Customs clearance, biosecurity requirements, documentation, carrier release, free-time limits and delivery coordination can all affect how quickly — and how cost-effectively — cargo reaches your warehouse.

The biggest mistake?

There’s more to it than finding a supplier, booking a container and waiting for the vessel to arrive. 🚢

Before your food reaches Australia, you need to know:

🌾 Can the product actually be imported?
📋 What documents are required?
🔍 Does it need inspection or testing?
🛃 Does it require an import permit?
🏷️ Does the food meet Australian labelling and food safety requirements?

And one of the first places to check?

𝗕𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗡 — 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

BICON can help determine the import conditions, supporting documents, permits, treatments and other requirements that may apply to your food.

But here's the thing...

The requirements can vary depending on what you're importing.

So in this 2-minute video, we break down the basics of **food importing into Australia** — including BICON, the government authorities involved and some of the key documentation you need to understand before your shipment arrives.

🎥 Watch the video before your next food shipment.

And if you're importing food into Australia and don't want to navigate the process alone, **Sharp Blue is here to help keep your cargo moving.
