Sea Freight Process
Sea Freight is frequently used by customer who purchase furniture and big size/volume items. It is door to port service, unless requested differently, with extra cost. Below is how Sea Freight works :
- You will need to provide us your mailing address for documents that will be mailed by courier
- You need to select the closest Port of your location, where you’d like to pick up your items once it arrived
- Your items will be treated for fumigation (Fumigation is a method of pest control/ removal of harmful micro-oganisms that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides—or fumigants—to suffocate or poison the pests within.)
- Your documents for exporting from Indonesia to your country will be prepared. Your documents including Fumigation & V-Legal (Legal Wood Indonesia certificate)
- Your items will be shipped from Bali Island to International Port of Indonesia in Surabaya City (Sby)
- From Sby your shipment will go to Singapore Port
- From Singapore your shipment will depart to Country of destination
- Your ETA (Estimate Time of Arrival) will be informed, usually few weeks after ship depart from Singapore Port
- 1-2 weeks before arrivals, you will get physical document in your mailing. This document is stating that indeed your items will arrive in Port you selected.
- 1-2 weeks before arrivals, Local Agent/Logistic/Broker in your selected port will contact you about your items arrival schedule
- You will be guided and directed of how to handle tax/duty/import tax/charges and declaration of items, all of this are depend on the import regulation of country’s destination
