Our international shipping services cover ocean and air freight, built to suit different cargo types and delivery priorities.
We offer Full Container Load, also known as FCL, and Less than Container Load, LCL. Both provide cost-conscious shipping options and scheduling flexibility. They work well for businesses needing economical transport without sacrificing delivery windows.
When speed matters, our air freight service moves high-value or urgent goods quickly. We handle the paperwork, the carrier bookings, and the handoffs to keep shipments on schedule and maintain product quality.
Navigating New Zealand Customs and MPI biosecurity rules can slow shipments. Our customs brokerage team manages documentation, inspections, and clearances to reduce border delays and keep shipments compliant.

A freight forwarder plans logistics, manages documentation, and books carriers. A freight handler looks after the physical movement and storage of cargo at ports and warehouses. Hobbs Global combines these roles for seamless service.
Sea freight is cost-effective for large volumes but slower, suited to less urgent goods. Air freight is faster and more expensive, best for valuable or time-sensitive shipments.
Key documents include Bills of Lading, Commercial Invoices, and Packing Lists. Hobbs Global prepares and manages these to smooth customs clearance.
We handle peak season pressure with early bookings, strong carrier relationships, and clear communication to control costs and maintain capacity.
