With the booming development of cross-border e-commerce, more and more sellers choose to store their goods in overseas warehouses in order to respond to market demand faster. Indonesia, as one of the important markets in Southeast Asia, has attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese sellers. However, how to calculate the cost of charging cables and other small items during transportation and storage? Which is more cost-effective, full container or bulk cargo? Today we will analyze it in detail.
I. Two Scenarios of Charging Cord to Indonesia Overseas Warehouse
When calculating the price of charging cable to Indonesia overseas warehouse, you first need to clarify which state your goods are in:
Scenario 1: the goods are already in Indonesia and need to be warehoused in overseas warehouse
If you already have stock in Indonesia, or need to re-shelf the goods after customers return them, then the Indonesia overseas warehouse quotation table applies.
Scenario 2: Goods are in China, need to be shipped to Indonesia and warehoused in overseas warehouse
If you need to ship the goods from China to Indonesia and put them into the overseas warehouse, then the Indonesia ocean freight logistics quotation table is applicable and combined with the cost of putting the goods into the overseas warehouse.
Scenario 1: The goods are already in Indonesia, and the cost of warehousing in overseas warehouse
If you only need to ship the charging cable from local warehouse or factory in Indonesia to overseas warehouse, the cost mainly includes the following items:
Inbound unloading fee
Whole container (20GP): 400 RMB/cabinet
Full container (40GP/40HQ/45HQ): 600 RMB/cabinet
Bulk cargo: free of charge
If the quantity of your charging cables is small, you can save the unloading fee by choosing bulk transportation.
Shelf Charge
Charging cable usually belongs to mini or small parts, the specific cost is calculated according to the size:
Sum of three sides ≤60CM: 0.1 RMB/pc.
Sum of three sides ≤100CM: 0.3 RMB/pc.
Sum of three sides≤150CM: 0.5 RMB/pc.
For example, the shelf fee for 1000 mini charging cables is 100 RMB.
Storage Fee
Jakarta Warehouse: 100 RMB/month/cubic meter
Tanggelang Warehouse: 50 RMB/month/cubic meter (slow outgoing goods may be charged at 90 RMB/month/cubic meter)
New goods usually have a free storage fee discount, the specific policy can be consulted with the warehouse.
Order return re-stocking fee
No quality control: 1-1.5 RMB/order
Need quality control: 1.5 RMB/single
Scenario 2: The cost of shipping goods from China to Indonesia and warehousing them in overseas warehouse.
If you need to ship the charging cable from China to Indonesia and then store it in overseas warehouse, the cost mainly includes the following items:
Ocean Freight
The charging cable belongs to the category of “cell phone accessories”, the shipping cost is 1780RMB/CBM, the estimated time is 18-22 days.
Billing method: 1 cubic meter weight limit 500KG, minimum consumption 0.3 cubic meters.
Overweight calculation: actual weight/500KG = billable cubic meters.
For example, if the total volume of 1000 charging cables is 0.5 cubic meters, and the weight is 200KG, the shipping fee will be $1,780 × 0.5 = $890.
Customs clearance cost
The quoted price is usually double clearing and tax inclusive, no need to pay extra customs clearance fee.
Delivery Fee
The quoted price includes free delivery to Central, West and North Jakarta. If the delivery address is outside of these areas, additional delivery charges may apply.
Inbound unloading and racking fees
Refer to Scenario 1 for fee rates.
Is it more cost-effective to ship full container or bulk cargo?
Whether to choose whole container or bulk transportation mainly depends on the volume and weight of your goods:
Whole container transportation is suitable for larger volume of goods, for example:
20GP container: can hold about 28 cubic meters of goods
40HQ container: can hold about 68 cubic meters of cargo
If you have a large number of charging cables, full container transportation can reduce the unit cost.
Bulk transportation is suitable for smaller cargo volume, for example:
Total volume less than 1 cubic meter
Lighter weight
Bulk transportation does not need to pay unloading fee, which is suitable for small replenishment.
V. How to get a more accurate quote?
In order to get a more accurate quote, you need to provide the following information:
Place of shipment: Is the charging cable shipped from China or already in Indonesia?
Destination: Is the specific shipping address in Indonesia an overseas warehouse address?
Mode of transportation: full container or bulk?
Volume: What is the total volume (CBM) of the charging cable shipment?
Weight: What is the total weight (KG) of the charging cable shipment?
Quantity: How many charging cables are there?
Packaging: What are the package dimensions (length, width and height) of the charging cables?

Whether to choose whole container or bulk transportation needs to be decided according to your cargo volume and budget. If you are interested in cost calculation
