Key Factors Affecting Freight Costs
Packaging Specifications:
Eyewear is fragile. We strongly recommend using customized shockproof packaging (e.g., individual eyewear cases, bubble columns, reinforced outer boxes).
Final freight charges are calculated based on the higher value between actual weight and volumetric weight (Length × Width × Height / 6000). Optimizing packaging space helps control costs.
Declared Value:
Accurate and reasonable declared value is essential for smooth customs clearance. We recommend aligning declared value with market retail prices to avoid customs audit risks associated with “undervaluation.”
Delivery Areas:
Mature delivery networks in major cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, and Bandung offer optimal shipping rates and the most reliable transit times.
Slight last-mile delivery surcharges may apply for shipments to other islands or remote areas. Contact us for precise quotes before dispatch.
II. Comprehensive Guide to Importing Eyewear into Indonesia
Indonesian customs enforce strict regulations on imported eyewear products. Preparing compliant documentation in advance is paramount.
Essential Clearance Documents Checklist
Commercial Invoice: Must detail product description (e.g., fashion sunglasses), materials (e.g., acetate frames, CR-39 lenses), quantity, unit price, and total value.
Packing List: Clearly indicates the contents of each carton, gross weight, net weight, and outer dimensions.
Certificate of Origin: Typically requires Form E (China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Preferential Certificate of Origin) to qualify for tariff preferences.
Import License:
General fashion eyewear typically does not require special permits.
Note: Corrective eyewear (optical lenses, frames) may be classified as “medical devices,” requiring importers to provide corresponding BPOM (Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) certification or declarations. Our customs clearance team will provide professional guidance.
Key Considerations
Quality Standards: Indonesia imposes basic safety requirements for eyewear lenses, including impact resistance and UV protection. Ensuring products comply with international or local standards minimizes customs clearance obstacles.
Certification Requirements: Functional eyewear (e.g., prescription glasses, reading glasses, children's corrective eyewear) involves complex certification requirements. Always confirm the latest regulations with us before shipment.
Compliance Declaration: Adhere to the principle of “consistency between goods and documentation, with reasonable declared value.” Our door-to-door customs clearance service includes professional pre-review of customs documents to minimize inspection probability.
