INTRODUCTION
Organizing transport is one of the crucial activity of despatch department of an
organization. It is basically concerned with giving emphasis on related legislation, resource,
communication and documentation requirement, etc. The current report is based an office
supplier organization so that information regarding the prevailing circumstances can be
identified and improved. Present report will involve obstacles that might affect transport
efficiency and accuracy. It will include systems of transportation methods chosen and reason
behind it. Procedure for ensuring load is correct and secured along with monitoring processes to
track the movement of freight will be included in current report.
MAIN BODY
Explaining key consideration for planning the transport of freight
In the office furniture supplier, it is essential for the organization to pay attention on
prevailing requirements of legal proceeding so that accurate action can be exerted to have

organization in respect to both in and out bounding. This provides assistance in ensuring that all
tasks related with transportation are to be transferred from one point to another with in time in
turn appropriate contract requirements can be met (Vij and et.al., 2020). In the particular case
the office furniture should pay attention that significant data regarding number of units, size,
quality, etc. are communicated and clarify with customer based in Perth CBD for avoiding
irrelevant confusion.
The documentation requirements in Australia involves into legal aspects which are
needed to be fulfilled for avoiding any kinds of barriers (Ramya and Sivasakthi, 2017.). This
includes commercial invoice, packing list, declaration, certificate of origin and general
declaration, etc. the documentation is associated with compliance with all legal work that is
needed to move or transfer goods from one place to another. The specified company should
