First, Dongguan whole container sent to Indonesia overseas warehouse full process analysis
For cross-border e-commerce sellers in Dongguan and neighboring areas, the Indonesian market is showing unprecedented attraction. However, how to efficiently and economically send goods from Dongguan whole container to Indonesia overseas warehouse, has become the focus of many sellers. This article will break down the whole process for you in detail, so you can master every key link.
Professional Tip: We suggest sellers to confirm the warehousing arrangement with the overseas warehouse service provider at least 72 hours in advance, instead of only the minimum required 24 hours notice, which can effectively avoid delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
1. Pre-preparation stage (core key)
Packaging standardization: the outer packaging of each piece of goods must be clearly marked SKUM and the corresponding quantity (eg: JKL32588070 × 12), SKUM code should strictly follow the rules of the 5-13 characters, to avoid the use of spaces and special symbols
Commodity pre-processing: all products need to be completed in the warehouse in Dongguan SKUM labeling, the Indonesian warehouse does not provide on-site labeling Service
Document preparation: complete packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin and other customs clearance documents need to be sent with the container
2. International Transportation Stage
Container Selection: according to the volume of goods, choose 20GP (about 28CBM), 40GP (about 58CBM) or 40HQ (about 68CBM)
Time Limit for Sea Transportation: Dongguan to the port of Jakarta usually takes 12-18 days, depending on the weather and the impact of the route
Customs clearance service: it is recommended to choose a service that includes “door-to-door”. Choose the logistics provider that includes "door to warehouse" double customs clearance service, which can reduce 90% of the risk of customs clearance.
3. Indonesia warehouse operation stage
Arrival processing: unloading is completed within 48 hours after the arrival of the container (postponed on holidays).
Shelf time: inventory counting, checking and shelving are completed within 1-3 working days.
Inventory synchronization: the regular overseas warehouses synchronize the inventory data to your management system in real time. Understanding the cost structure is the key to controlling logistics costs. Let's take a 20GP full container shipped from Dongguan to Jakarta, Indonesia as an example, and disassemble the costs in detail:

3. 3 Steps to Accurately Calculate Your Logistics Costs
Step 1: Measurement of Cargo Parameters
Total Volume (CBM Calculation: Length x Width x Height x Number of Pieces)
Commodity Size Grading (Mini Pieces <15cm, Small Pieces 15-30cm, Medium Pieces 30-60cm, Large Pieces >60cm)
Estimated Average Daily Order Volume
Step 2: Selection of Service Combination
Warehouse Site Selection: Jakarta Warehouse (fast delivery but expensive) vs. Tanggelang Warehouse (cost-effective)
Value-added services: whether you need to label, change packaging, giveaways into, etc.
Step 3: Cost Simulation
Example: send 20GP cabinets (28CBM) to Jakarta Warehouse with 5000 pieces of medium-sized goods:
Sea Freight Fee: ¥ 9,500 (including insurance)
Unloading Fee: ¥ 400
Shelving Fee: 5,000 × 0.3 = ¥ 1,500
Warehousing Fee: 28 × 100 × 3 = ¥ 8400 (assuming 3 months of storage)
Outgoing storage fee: 5000 single × ¥ 1.2 = ¥ 6000
----------------------------
Estimated total cost: ¥ 25,800
By adjusting the time of warehousing (20 days before the warehouse) you can save ¥ 2,800 in storage fees, the actual ¥ 23,000
Fourth, industry experts special recommendations The embargo list should be kept in mind: e-cigarettes and liquid products are absolutely embargoed, and there have been cases of sellers not reporting the embargo, resulting in the entire container.
