Container Transport for Customs Brokers in Brisbane

Built around the way brokers work

You manage the clearance; we manage the truck. Send us the container number, release status and delivery instructions and we book the terminal slot, collect on time and confirm each milestone back to you. Commercial communication stays with you — we carry the freight, we do not chase your clients.

• Collection of cleared imports from all Port of Brisbane terminals
• Delivery to client warehouses, unpack sites and private yards
• Export gate-ins planned against vessel cut-offs
• Milestone updates at collection, en route and on delivery

Lytton container yard support

Need container storage or staging close to the Port of Brisbane? CCE Express has container yard facilities in Lytton, supporting customs brokers and freight forwarders with storage, staging and transport operations minutes from the terminal gates.

• Container storage for laden and empty boxes
• Short-term staging while clearance or site access is finalised
• Import and export container handling
• Container dehire coordination
• Transport pickup and delivery to and from the yard

When clearance and site readiness do not line up

A container can clear before the client's warehouse can take it, or a site can finish an unpack days before the dehire cut-off. Instead of paying terminal storage or detention, stage the box in our Lytton yard and deliver when the site is actually ready. One call covers the yard move and the final delivery.

• Avoid terminal storage charges while awaiting site access
• Hold cleared imports until the client's unpack window
• Stage empties before return to the nominated container park
• Yard-to-door delivery scheduled around your client's receiving hours

Empty returns and dehire closed out

Once your client's unpack is done, we collect the empty, book the nominated container park slot and return the box before extra hire days accrue. The dehire reference comes back to you in writing so the import file can be closed.

• Empty collection from the client's site or our Lytton yard
• Return to the shipping line's nominated container park
• Dehire reference and confirmation supplied in writing
• Detention deadlines tracked from the delivery date

Compliance your clients can rely on

We are an NHVR Accredited operator, fully insured, and we manage Chain of Responsibility obligations across loading, mass, dimension and fatigue. When your client's compliance team asks for documentation, it is available — which keeps a container movement from turning into a paperwork exercise.

• NHVR Accredited with a strong commitment to safety and compliance
• Full transit and public liability insurance
• CoR obligations documented
• Compliance documentation available on request
