Choose by volume and urgency
FCL, LCL or air freight?
The lowest ocean rate is not always the lowest delivered cost. Cargo volume, packing, handling risk, origin charges and final delivery all affect the decision.
Best for full loads
Spedizioni FCL
A dedicated 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ container is usually preferred for larger shipments, heavier cargo and goods that benefit from fewer handling points.
- Contenitore: 20GP / 40GP / 40HQ
- Typical fit: high-volume or project cargo
- Origine: factory loading or warehouse loading
- Consegna: container or devanned cargo
Best for smaller cargo
LCL Shipping
Your cargo shares container space and is charged mainly by chargeable volume. Suitable for commercial shipments that do not fill a container.
- Pricing basis: CBM / chargeable measure
- Typical fit: pallets, crates and cartons
- Origine: consolidation warehouse
- Check: long-length and non-stackable cargo
Best for urgent cargo
Trasporto aereo
For samples, spare parts and time-sensitive goods, air freight from Bangkok can reduce transport time, subject to airline capacity and cargo restrictions.
- Pricing basis: chargeable weight
- Typical fit: urgent and higher-value cargo
- Airports: Bangkok to Auckland/Christchurch
- Check: batteries, liquids and DG status

Thailand to New Zealand shipping FAQ
How long does sea freight from Thailand to New Zealand take?
Port-to-port transit is often around 20–38 days, depending on the New Zealand port, carrier, transshipment plan and sailing week. Add time for supplier pickup, consolidation, customs/MPI processing and inland delivery. Always request a live schedule.
Should I use FCL or LCL?
FCL is generally better for larger volumes, heavier cargo or goods requiring fewer handling points. LCL is useful for smaller commercial shipments, but origin/destination handling, minimum charges, long-length surcharges and non-stackable cargo can change the final comparison.
Can BRF pick up cargo from a factory in Thailand?
Yes. Pickup can be arranged from Bangkok, Chonburi, Rayong and other supplier locations, subject to cargo size, vehicle access and pickup requirements. We can also coordinate supplier readiness and warehouse receiving.
Can you deliver to an Auckland warehouse or project site?
Yes, subject to customs and MPI release, site access and the agreed service scope. Please provide the full postcode and advise whether a loading dock, forklift, crane, tail-lift or delivery appointment is needed.
What information is needed for a freight quote?
Provide the product name, HS code if available, package count, dimensions, gross weight, total CBM, pickup address, delivery postcode, cargo readiness date, Incoterm and any dangerous-goods, battery, wood-packaging or special-handling details.
Does the quotation include New Zealand GST and duty?
Only when the written quotation expressly includes them. Import GST, duty, MPI inspection, storage, detention, demurrage and special delivery costs depend on shipment facts and should be confirmed before booking.
