International trade involves more than just moving cargo – it requires accurate import export documentation, trade compliance consulting and attention to detail. At Venture Freight, our trade documentation experts ensure that every bill of lading, commercial invoice and certificate of origin is prepared, verified and submitted correctly to meet the requirements of Australian Border Force and global authorities.
From import and export declarations to certificates, permits and invoices, we provide end-to-end consultation and documentation support to help businesses avoid delays, reduce risk and streamline their supply chain. Once documents are ready, our licensed customs brokers lodge the declaration and clear your goods.

Permits & Origin
Import Permits and Certificates of Origin in Australia
Import Permit Australia
Food, plant material, animal products, timber, some chemicals and therapeutic goods may need an import permit before they arrive in Australia. Biosecurity permits are issued by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and import conditions are listed in BICON.
We check whether your product needs a permit, prepare the application, and match the permit conditions to your packing declaration and treatment certificates so the goods are not held on arrival.
Certificate of Origin Australia
A certificate of origin proves where goods were made. Importers need one, or an origin declaration, to claim reduced duty under free trade agreements such as ChAFTA, AUSFTA and AI-ECTA. Exporters often need one for the buyer's customs.
We check origin documents before shipment, so you can claim the right rate. Read how origin affects landed costs in our import duty calculator guide, or see our import and export services.
