Duty and GST, billed at cost
Levied by the Australian government on you as importer — never marked up, never hidden.
Bali → Perth · Melbourne · Sydney · Brisbane
Destination · Australia
Collected in Bali, export-packed, fumigated for Australian quarantine, then delivered to your suburb — with an all-in quote within 24 business hours.
Quick answer
About 4–8 weeks by sea and 3–10 business days by air (2026 guide). Fumigation is done in Bali; duty and GST are billed at cost, everything else is one itemized price.

Sydney: 4–8 weeks door to door by sea
Duty & quarantine
Australia is strict on wood and rattan. Treat everything in Bali and the border is routine.
Transit times
Sea windows from Bali pickup to Australian delivery. Air via Denpasar lands in 3–10 business days.
| Destination | Door to door by sea | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Perth / Fremantle | 4–5 weeks | Closest Australian gateway to Indonesia |
| Melbourne | 4–8 weeks | Metro Melbourne and regional Victoria |
| Sydney | 4–8 weeks | Metro delivery 3–10 business days after clearance |
| Brisbane | 4–8 weeks | Common for Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast |

Subject to change. Rural addresses can add a few days over metro delivery.
LCL 150–250 per CBM; FCL 20ft 2,500–4,500, 40ft 4,000–7,000 — 2025 Indonesia–USA references. Your quote fixes the figure.
Economy 4–7/kg, express 5–12/kg. Insurance ~2% of value, fuel 15–25% of freight.
Documents
Export clearance is lodged electronically via INSW, and the 2025 HS code updates are mandatory.
LCL or FCL
Most Bali LCL trucks to Tanjung Perak, Surabaya, then transships via Singapore — fine for solid teak, riskier for glass and ceramics.
Priced per CBM. A two-bedroom villa’s furniture usually rides LCL.
A 20ft holds about 30 CBM, sealed in Bali, and skips the transshipment entirely.
Q4 space costs most. If cargo can ship in September rather than November, it should.
Asked constantly
Yes — fumigation and treatment certification happen in Bali before loading. Untreated cargo can be ordered into treatment or destruction at your cost. Certificates travel with the Bill of Lading, so officers see the record straight away.
You do, as the importer. Every non-government cost — freight, packing, treatment, delivery — is fixed upfront in the quote, and duty and GST are billed at cost without markup.
The break-even sits near 13 CBM. Below it, LCL priced per CBM wins. Above it, a 20ft container of about 30 CBM is usually cheaper, sealed in Bali and spared the Surabaya–Singapore handling.
Allow 3–10 business days for customs clearance, quarantine screening and booking the final leg. Rural addresses — say past Byron Bay — can add a few days over metro Sydney or Melbourne.
