We have been advised today(Saturday) by Qantas CTO that the Sydney terminal is
full and there is no more space for breakdown loose cargo.  All Forwarders who
have cargo there and who have clear customs underbond removal statuses are
urged to try and remove the cargo this weekend.

If you either cannot check the status of your cargo in your system or you are
not sure of the status message, please call the Customs Help Desk or Qantas CTO
to check.

The situation is not quite as bad in Melbourne as cargo is being retrieved but
the terminal there is also nearing capacity too.

Thanks and regards ,
