Expanding into the Indonesian market requires a clear understanding of ocean freight costs. This article provides a comprehensive breakdown of core expenses and regulations for exporting to Indonesia, helping you precisely control logistics costs.
I. Core Billing Standards (Charged by Volume/Weight, whichever is greater)
Minimum Charge: Minimum consumption of 1 cubic meter (CBM). Shipments below this threshold will be charged as 1 CBM.
Weight Restrictions: Adheres to the rule of 1 CBM limited to 500KG. Overweight cargo is converted using the formula: Billable CBM = Actual Weight / 500.
Example: A 750KG shipment incurs 1.5 CBM charges.
Comparison Principle: The system calculates both volumetric weight (1CBM = 500KG) and actual weight, using the larger value as the final billing basis.
II. Primary Cost Components
Fees include ocean freight, customs declaration fees, documentation fees, Indonesian customs clearance fees, and local taxes. We strongly recommend DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service. All Indonesian import taxes are prepaid at the time of shipment from China, enabling immediate delivery upon arrival at the port. This ensures transparent costs and peace of mind.
III. Delivery & Special Considerations
Delivery: Delivery fees within Jakarta are typically included in the total price. Other regions are billed based on actual costs incurred.
Compensation: Compensation is provided at twice the invoice value (covers loss but not damage). Fragile items require reinforced packaging and a letter of guarantee.
Special Cargo: Oversized items or those with special requirements may incur additional fees. Please confirm before shipment.
