International Container Freight Forwarding from NZ
Whether your cargo is bound for Australia, Asia, the Pacific or beyond, Container Transport provides expert full container load (FCL) freight forwarding from most major New Zealand cities. As an independent freight broker, we are free to select the best carrier and routing for your specific shipment — keeping your costs low and your timelines reliable. Our team handles all documentation, port coordination and MPI liaison, so your export moves smoothly from the first mile to the last.
Container Transport offers reliable international container shipping from all major New Zealand ports, including Auckland, Tauranga, Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, Napier and Wellington. We work with the world’s leading carriers – PIL, COSCO, Maersk, MSC, and CMA CGM – to move FCL (full container load) shipments to major ports across Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe. Whether you’re exporting New Zealand products to Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, Rotterdam, or Los Angeles, we have the carrier relationships and established shipping routes to get your freight there reliably and at competitive rates.
Our door-to-door international freight service covers the full journey from pickup to final delivery. We coordinate truck collection from your New Zealand address, transport to the port of loading, ocean freight to your destination port, and onward delivery to the consignee’s door. As part of our complete service, Container Transport also provides licensed customs brokerage for both imports and exports – handling all documentation, tariff classification, duty payments, and MPI biosecurity requirements on your behalf, so your freight clears the border without delays or complications. There’s no need to manage multiple freight providers or navigate complex international logistics on your own. Our experienced team handles the booking, scheduling, customs clearance, and coordination from start to finish – keeping the process simple and well-communicated every step of the way.
We work with New Zealand exporters and importers of all sizes, from single container shipments through to regular scheduled bookings on key international trade lanes. Our international freight solutions are suited to a wide range of cargo, and our team can advise on the best shipping and customs clearance option for your needs and timeline.
