Service Definition: End-to-end Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) freight forwarding and cross-border logistics from manufacturing hubs across China (Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu) directly to major Indonesian commercial centers (Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan).
Core Value: Single-invoice logistics covering origin pickup, export customs, main carriage (sea or air), Indonesian import clearance (including SNI/BPOM compliance advisory), and final mile door delivery with all destination tariffs, import duties, and PPN (VAT) managed.
Operational Control: Direct carrier allocations with major vessel loops to Tanjung Priok, licensed local customs brokerage partnerships in Jakarta, and real-time milestone tracking tailored for B2B importers.
Service Scope & Regional Hubs
Origin Coverage: Industrial clusters across China with weekly consolidation yards operating in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu, and Ningbo.
Destination Coverage: Direct commercial delivery to warehouses, distribution centers, and fulfillment hubs across Java, Sumatra, and surrounding Indonesian islands.
Incoterms Flexibility: DDP, DAP, CIF, and FOB structures aligned with the importer's Indonesian tax and customs profile (API-U/API-P licenses).
Shipping Options & Routes
Sea Freight (LCL / FCL):
Best for: High-volume bulk cargo, heavy manufacturing components, and regular inventory replenishment.
Maritime Corridor: Shenzhen / Ningbo / Guangzhou ports direct to Jakarta (Port of Tanjung Priok) and Surabaya (Port of Tanjung Perak). Transit benchmark: 12 to 15 port-to-door.
Air Freight:
Best for: Time-sensitive production parts, urgent sample batches, and high-value consumer goods.
Aviation Corridor: PVG / SZX / CAN airports to Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta (CGK). Transit benchmark: 3 to 5 days.
Cargo Requirements & Specifications
Accepted Cargo Types: General commercial merchandise, textiles, industrial machinery, hardware, electronics, and packaged consumer goods.
Regulated & Restricted Cargo: Products requiring Indonesian specific compliance (such as SNI for electrical/toys or BPOM for cosmetics/food) require pre-shipment documentation review. Lithium batteries and chemical substances require verified UN38.3 and MSDS reports.
Packaging Standards: Palletized shipments must use ISPM 15 heat-treated lumber. Strict weight constraints apply per carton (maximum 30kg for air express/courier to pass manual handling limits) and heavy pallets (maximum 1500kg for sea LCL fork-lift handling).
Operational Process
Booking & Data Audit: Submission of Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and cargo readiness date. Verification of Indonesian tax ID (NPWP) and importer identification numbers (NIK).
Origin Execution: Factory pickup or warehouse drop-off, export declaration, and container consolidation at Chinese ports.
Main Carriage: Maritime or aerial transit via contracted vessel loops and cargo flight paths.
Destination Customs Clearance: Electronic import declaration through Indonesian Customs (Bea Cukai), HS code verification, and duty/PPN tax settlement.
Final Mile Handover: Container stripping, local trucking, and delivery to the designated consignee warehouse.
Transit Time & Cost Factors
Estimated Transit Benchmarks:
Sea Freight LCL/FCL (China to Jakarta/Surabaya): 12 to 18 days door-to-door depending on customs lane assignment.
Air Freight (China to Jakarta): 3 to 5 days including standard clearance.
Cost Determinants: Chargeable weight versus volumetric volume ratio (1 CBM = 167 KG for air, 1 CBM = 500 KG standard sea formula), seasonal peak-weight surcharges, and exact Indonesian import duty rates tied to specific 8-digit HS codes.
Customs & Documentation Compliance
Required Trade Documentation: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading (B/L) or Air Waybill (AWB), and Certificate of Origin (Form E under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area for applicable duty exemptions).
Compliance Management: Proactive HS code alignment to prevent Red Lane customs holds, importer tax profile verification, and local regulatory permit coordination for restricted goods.
Operational Reliability & Quality Control
Carrier Partnerships: Direct Service Contracts (SCs) with Tier-1 ocean liners (such as COSCO, Evergreen, and Wan Hai) to secure equipment and slot allocation during peak shipping windows.
Cargo Safety Protocols: Standardized Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for container stuffing, moisture barrier application (crucial for humid tropical maritime routes), shock-absorbing dunnage, and barcode scanning at consolidation nodes.
Exception Management: Dedicated bilingual account managers providing proactive status alerts and alternative routing solutions within 4 hours of any transit or customs disruption.
