Kitchen cabinets in Australia, duty-paid to Sydney.
Custom kitchen cabinets in Australia, built on the same lines as our US programs: 10-14 days in production after the drawings freeze, then 15-20 days DDP to Sydney. Quoted per linear foot, the production slot in writing before the deposit.
The delivery, measured
The Australia delivery, in four numbers.
| Number | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 10-14 days | Factory production from confirmed drawings, across ten stages with trial assembly at the 72-hour gate |
| 15-20 days | DDP transit to Sydney - ocean, insurance, clearance, duty and the delivery leg inside |
| 18mm E0 box | Carcass board at or under 0.05 mg/m³ (GB/T 39600, report SQ2405393), 2mm PVB banding on every cut edge |
| 1,500 sq ft | Mixed orders from kitchens, vanities and closets count toward the same container; no sample-stage minimum |
The production slot is confirmed in writing before the 40% deposit - that line is in the contract, not the chat log.
Dated facts only
The Australia file: what is confirmed, what is in production.
| Confirmed - on this page and across the site | In production on the importing series |
|---|---|
| 15-20 days DDP to Sydney, published on every product page | Published 10 Oct 2026: the three-borders guide carries the Australian duty, the 10% GST and the biosecurity packaging requirements |
| 18mm E0 plywood box, at or under 0.05 mg/m³ (report SQ2405393), CARB Phase 2 (cert on request) | Three Australian builds already published - a builder package, eleven rooms, a coastal house and a vaulted-ceiling whole house |
| 40% deposit against a production slot confirmed in writing | |
| Trial assembly on every order, photo gates at 24/48/72 hours |
We do not print tariff numbers we have not checked and dated - that is the same rule behind the US duty table. The Australia guide is on the importing series pipeline, and this page carries its confirmed numbers the day it ships.
The box, the edge, the hardware
The spec travels unchanged.
An Australian order leaves on the same board line as a US one: 18mm E0-grade plywood at or under 0.05 mg/m³ (GB/T 39600, test report no. SQ2405393), CARB Phase 2 on the board line (TÜV Rheinland, cert on request), ENF on request, 2mm PVB hot-melt edge banding on every cut edge, Blum soft-close hardware rated to 50,000 cycles. The frozen spec locks the dimension grid, the board report number, the finish matched to a physical sample and the hardware model numbers before the deposit; the certificates and the warranty split are on the quality page.
Factory to port
Built to ship, numbered to the crate.
Every export program leaves the same way: panels nested and numbered to the layout, stone and tall units strapped in wood crates, pallets racked down the container. That is the standard a Sydney delivery runs on.
The record
Delivered record, and the Australia reference.
Our published programs run across the US, the UK, Africa and Australia - apartment and multi-family runs, hotels, resorts and grand villas, all on the same board line and the same QC gates. Three Australian builds are published so far; each one is one spec, one delivery, photographed on site, like the rest.

FAQ
Kitchen cabinets in Australia - asked before the first order.
How long to Sydney, really?
10-14 days of factory production from the frozen drawings, then 15-20 days DDP to Sydney. The production slot is confirmed in writing before the 40% deposit, and the 48-hour damage window runs from your delivery date.
What does DDP cover for an Australian delivery?
The same duty-paid model as our US orders: production, crating, ocean freight, insurance, clearance and the duty, through to your door. Your quote names the term and the port in writing - if a leg moves from our side to yours, it moves on paper first.
Which board standard for Australian homes?
18mm E0-grade plywood at or under 0.05 mg/m³ per GB/T 39600 (test report SQ2405393), CARB Phase 2 on the board line (cert on request), ENF on request, with 2mm PVB hot-melt banding on every cut edge. The reading of each letter is in the formaldehyde guide.
What is the minimum for a first Australia order?
Mixed orders from kitchens, vanities and closets start at 1,500 square feet of cabinet footage, and there is no minimum at the sample stage - a painted sample ships with your first quote.
Can I audit the factory before I deposit?
A 30-minute video walk of the lines runs the same week, and the nine remote checks - line ownership, board report, edge banding, hardware traceability, report expiry - are written up as a guide you can run on any supplier, ours included.
When is the Australia import guide published?
Published 10 October 2026 in the importing series - the three-borders guide (US, Canada and Australia) carries the Australian duty, the 10% GST and the biosecurity packaging requirements, with dates on every rate. The confirmed numbers on this page match it.
