How to Ship From Bali Export Guide

Suppliers

Suppliers are plentiful throughout Bali & Indonesia, friendly quality suppliers looking for business opportunities, ranging from furniture, garden products such as pots and statues to beautiful handcrafted doors, clothing and many other different types of handicrafts. Most of the most popular suppliers we already collect from daily servicing our regular home-ware stores and customers throughout Australia and New Zealand.

If you are on a buying trip to Bali the best way to source your product is to meet and greet with the suppliers and provide them information or designs on what you are looking for, the Balinese people are very accommodating.

Deposits & Payments of Suppliers

You have found your product? Unless you have a great relationship with an existing supplier we always recommend placing 50% deposit prior to manufacture and then the remaining payment on collection.

Jetfast Bali Cargo can assist with supplier deposits and supplier consolidation reports, if you are shipping from multiple suppliers these reports will show deposits paid, amounts owed and status of goods (not ready, collected or ready date)

Once each supplier is ready we arrange all collections…

We recommend using a local Insurance broker in Australia or New Zealand as claiming locally is a simpler process. We have a local Insurance Broker who can assist cover to all destinations and major ports. whist 99% of shipments arrive safely you just never know!. We have all seen in the news cases where shipping line vessels have sunk loosing hundred of containers, whist a rare event these types of losses are beyond ours or your control.

Shipping Process

Once your shipment is packed and ready for export depending on your chosen method AIR or Sea your shipment is dispatched from our warehouse and you are provided with a full estimated shipping schedule.

• AIR – Lodged with the airline and delivered to the terminal with daily flights or shipment generally can land the next day into all major Australian terminals. Allow approx 3-10 days depending on express or economy for air shipments door to door.
• SEA – LCL and FCL shipments are transported by Road to Surabaya or connected by Benoa port. All shipments go by Singapore as Singapore is an international transshipment port, here containers are then reloaded onto a connecting vessel to Australia. the water time is approx 4 weeks. Allow approx 6-8 Weeks Door to Door depending on your end location.

Arrival At Port

Most Bali Forwarders will quote you to PORT only. This means you will still have Australian port charges, local agent handling, customs & Quarantine clearance fees on arrival, NOT US we do not recommend shipping to PORT only as the acting Australian local agent charges are normally inflated and more expensive than shipping door to door.

Our quotations are to depot handout or to your door meaning We include all known costs to door or depot handout in Australia or New Zealand

Depending on your shipping method the following is generally applicable

• LCL – Consolidated container is removed from the port, unpacked and made available at port unpack depot – This process can take between 3-12 days depending on port and depot.
• FCL – The container will need to be removed from the port within 3 days of availability and delivered you your premises. If you are shipping furniture with us to a residential address, we bring the container back to our nominated depot unpack and deliver by professional removals. Most containers are required to be dehired back to the shipping line between 7-10 days to avoid hire detention charges.
• Airfreight – Is collected from the terminal the same or next day working day and made available from our nominated depot.

Customs Clearance

Some products from Bali are on the Quarantine Hit List! Products made of shells and bamboo and other plant materials whist not all restricted, are a high Quarantine concern so they need to be treated correctly and imported correctly to avoid unwanted attention or inspections, We have staff trained in Quarantine Awareness, so are able to offer correct advice prior to shipping and check your documents prior to export.
