Hiya Plumm,
I am not 100% sure as we have not shipped our goods yet but I can tell you what the company I am with has told us.
We are shipping our goods to Melbourne through 'Robinsons International' and they told us it would take around 8-12 weeks...not sure how long in customs guess that can take as long as a piece of string cause they might go through everything with a fine tooth comb or just have a sneak pic and this is costing us around £2'000.
As for things you cannot take with you they gave us a list...which I am trying to find. I know some things of the top of my head. You cannot take wicker baskets cuase I had to get rid of all mine :( you are not allowed to take bed matresses and quilts! If you want to take your hoover it has to be stripped down and thoroughly cleaned-we thought it was easier to get rid off!
We sold our house with all white goods in cause I am sure we got told they would be no use in oz...also tv's!! Or anything electrical I think!
I hope all this helps. I'm sure more people will add to this and help you! If I remember anything else and find the list I will add more.
