Shipping & Logistics
1. Which Australian ports do you deliver to?
We ship directly to all major container terminals including Sydney (Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Fremantle (Perth).
2. What is the typical lead time for a shipment to Australia?
Production usually takes 25–30 days, with sea freight to Australia adding approximately 15–25 days depending on the destination port.
3. How do you handle customs documentation for Australian imports?
We provide a complete set of documents, including the Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Certificates of Origin, to ensure smooth clearance through Australian Border Force.
4. Can you arrange door-to-door delivery within Australia?
We primarily operate on FOB or CIF terms (delivery to the port). However, we can introduce you to reliable local Australian freight forwarders to handle the "last mile" delivery to your distillery.
5. How do you minimize breakage during long-haul sea transit?
We use export-grade pallets, heavy-duty honeycomb dividers, and reinforced shrink-wrapping. Every container is professionally loaded to prevent movement during transit.
Product Specifications
6. Are your 700ml bottles compatible with Australian BVS screw caps?
Yes. We offer 700ml molds specifically designed for the 30*60 BVS (Stelvin) finish, which is the standard for the Australian spirits and wine industry.
7. Do you provide bottles for cork finishes?
Certainly. We have various 700ml profiles with standard 18.5mm, 21.5mm, and 23mm mouth diameters suitable for premium natural or synthetic corks.
8. What is the glass quality of your spirit bottles?
We use "Super Flint" glass, the highest grade available, known for its exceptional clarity, brilliance, and lack of color distortion.
9. Are these bottles pressure-rated for carbonated spirits?
Standard spirit bottles are designed for still liquids. If you require bottles for carbonated products (like pre-mixed cocktails), please specify so we can provide reinforced glass options.
10. Do you provide technical CAD drawings for filling line calibration?
Yes. We provide detailed 2D and 3D technical drawings for every bottle to ensure perfect alignment with your filling and labeling machinery.
MOQ & Commercials
11. What is the MOQ for 700ml spirit bottles to Australia?
For stock items, the MOQ is typically one 40HQ container (approx. 20,000–25,000 bottles). For custom molds, the MOQ starts at 30,000 units.
12. Can I mix different bottle shapes in one container?
Yes, as long as the total volume meets a full container load, we can often accommodate 2–3 different stock bottle shapes to help you manage inventory.
13. Do you offer free samples to Australian distilleries?
We provide samples free of charge. We only ask that the customer covers the air courier cost (DHL/FedEx), which can be refunded upon your first bulk order.
14. Are there any anti-dumping duties on Chinese glass bottles in Australia?
Currently, there are no specific anti-dumping duties on 700ml glass spirit bottles from China. We recommend verifying with your customs broker for the latest tariff updates.
Customization & Quality
15. Can you add my distillery logo to the bottle?
Yes. We can create custom molds for embossed logos on the shoulder, base, or body of the bottle.
16. What decoration services do you provide?
We offer high-fire screen printing, matte frosting, color spraying (electroplating), and metallic foil stamping directly at our facility.
17. Are your bottles lead-free and food-safe?
Absolutely. All our glassware is manufactured from food-grade materials and meets FDA and SGS safety standards required for the Australian market.
18. How do you ensure consistent wall thickness?
Our production lines use automatic laser inspection equipment to detect and reject bottles with uneven glass distribution or structural flaws.
19. Can you provide the matching closures (corks/caps)?
Yes. We supply a range of tested closures, including T-top corks, aluminum screw caps, and tamper-evident seals that fit our 700ml bottles perfectly.
20. What happens if there is breakage upon arrival at the Australian port?
We have a strict quality guarantee. If breakage exceeds the industry-standard 1–2% allowance due to packaging failure, we provide credits or replacements in your next shipment.
