LCL usually bills a one-CBM minimum, so a 0.4 CBM crate is charged as a full cube.
The 13 CBM break-even
Past about 13 CBM, a 20ft container — around 30 CBM usable — usually beats the per-cube math.
Book off-peak
Fuel surcharges rose about 12% in 2025, and Q4 space fills early.

Why via Surabaya
Bali has no direct long-haul container sailings, so LCL cargo is trucked to Tanjung Perak, then transshipped.
In a hurry?
Air freight from Ngurah Rai runs 3–10 business days, at roughly USD 4–12 per kg.
Sizing your cargo
How many CBM is your shipment?
One CBM is a 100 × 100 × 100 cm cube. Measure each packed piece in metres, multiply length × width × height, then add the results.
-
Carved teak coffee table
120 × 70 × 45 cm packed — about 0.38 CBM.
-
Six-seat teak dining set
Packed as one lot — about 2.5–3.0 CBM.
-
One-bedroom villa contents

LCL shipping questions
How much does Bali LCL shipping cost to the USA?
About USD 150–250 per CBM, with competitive lanes cited at USD 100–150. An all-in Bali rate also covers pickup, export packing, Surabaya trucking and export documents. Duty, GST/VAT and destination clearance are billed to the consignee.
What is the smallest shipment worth sending LCL?
LCL usually applies a one-CBM minimum. Below roughly half a cube, air freight from Denpasar — 3–10 business days at about USD 4–12 per kg — often lands cheaper and faster. From about 1 CBM up, sea LCL wins.
Why does my LCL cargo route through Surabaya?
Bali has no direct long-haul container services, so cargo is trucked to Tanjung Perak and transshipped via Java and Singapore. Each transfer is a handling event — why export packing and humidity absorption sit in the base rate.
Who pays import duty on an LCL shipment?
The consignee named on the Bill of Lading pays import duty, GST/VAT and customs charges on arrival. An honest quote itemizes these upfront — and with US de minimis scrutiny tightening through 2027, accurate declared values matter more.
How long does LCL from Bali to Australia take?
Roughly 4–8 weeks port to port, plus a few days for pickup, packing and consolidation. Allow extra time for biosecurity screening on wood, rattan and used household goods; treatment paperwork is arranged before loading.
