Door to door

What an air quote includes — and never does

Pickup anywhere in Bali, export packing, export clearance via INSW, airline freight ex Ngurah Rai (DPS), destination clearance handling and last-mile delivery.

  1. Documents done for you

    Commercial invoice with HS codes per line, packing list, Air Waybill and Certificate of Origin where required.

  2. Never included: duty and tax

    The consignee pays import duty and GST/VAT. We give a written estimate with every quote.

  3. Optional insurance

    About 2% of declared value — sensible for art and electronics.

Volumetric weight

Why bulky cargo costs more by air

Airlines charge the greater of actual and volumetric weight. Every quote shows the math.

01 / 05
  • 01 01 / 05

    The formula

    Length × width × height in centimetres, divided by 6,000.

  • 02 02 / 05

    Worked example

    A 60 × 50 × 50 cm carton of cushions weighing 12 kg bills as 25 kg.

  • 03 03 / 05

    Pack dense

    Vacuum-bag textiles, dismantle frames, fill voids — trapped air is billable.

  • 04 04 / 05

    Measure first

    Quotes built on real dimensions hold; guesses get re-billed at the airport scale.

  • 05 05 / 05

    Compare with sea

    Once chargeable weight reaches hundreds of kilos, LCL at USD 150–250 per CBM often wins.

Air freight questions

All shipping questions
Can I ship personal belongings by air without a company?

Yes. The forwarder prepares the invoice, packing list and Air Waybill in your name; you typically need only a passport copy. As of 2026, no Indonesian export licence is required for ordinary personal effects.

Does a door-to-door air quote include import duty?

No legitimate quote does. Door to door covers pickup, packing, export clearance, airline freight, destination clearance handling and delivery. Duty and GST/VAT are billed to you as consignee — we estimate them in writing.

Is air freight cheaper than excess baggage?

Usually, once you pass roughly 30–40 kg. Economy air freight at USD 4–7 per kg often undercuts stacked baggage fees, with proper export documents. For one modest extra bag, airline baggage stays simpler.

Why is air safer than sea for fragile art or electronics?

Fewer handling events. LCL sea cargo is trucked to Surabaya and transshipped via Java and Singapore; air cargo is packed once in Bali, uplifted from Ngurah Rai and delivered within days.
