International Logistics, Customs, and Trade

ICAL is an Australian independent Freight Forwarding, Customs Brokerage and Trade Consultancy Company with strong connections across the world. ICAL takes importing, exporting and trade compliance seriously.

ICAL has five licensed Customs Brokers, and several highly qualified Freight Forwarders in its Melbourne head office. We provide freight services not only in and out of Australia, but also manage international logistics and distribution services throughout the world, handling many third country projects through our network of professional agents.

ICAL also provides specialist warehousing services for certain products that require extra care in handling and protection from damage. Our controls over such products ensure there is no loss of product and/or damage to our clients’ reputations.

ICAL serves the needs of traders, manufacturers, and other forwarders and brokers, in almost every country and across four continents. We are big enough to obtain competitive freight rates and able to efficiently manage every request, whilst small enough to take care of our clients and to offer a personalised, cost-effective solution for every need and situation.

ICAL’s aim is to provide freight, customs, and trade services that guarantee compliance with customer and governmental requirements and thereby give true value and maximise the benefits to those whom we serve.
