The 13 CBM break-even
Below it, pay per CBM. Above it, a 20ft container is usually cheaper — and your goods travel untouched.
Book off-peak
Fuel surcharges rose about 12% in 2025 and Q4 is the peak squeeze. January to August lands better rates.

Routing
Why Bali cargo sails from Surabaya
Bali has no deep-sea container port. LCL cargo is trucked 10–12 hours to Tanjung Perak, Surabaya, then transshipped via Singapore onto mainline vessels — a leg already included in our rates.
-
LCL — handled several times
Loaded, trucked, unloaded and reloaded before sailing, so export-grade packing is standard, not an upsell.
-
FCL — sealed once
Loaded at your location in Bali and opened next at destination customs: the safest chain for art, stone and antiques.

Sea freight questions
Does door-to-door sea freight include import duty?
No. The rate covers freight, packing, paperwork, clearance handling and delivery. Duty and GST/VAT are billed by your country’s customs — we give a written estimate with every quote.
Can I combine furniture and personal boxes?
Yes. LCL is priced per CBM, so furniture, art and boxes consolidate into one shipment under one Bill of Lading — usually the cheapest option under 13 CBM.
Will Australian customs hold my wooden or rattan furniture?
Not when it is treated. We arrange fumigation and treatment paperwork before loading in Bali, so your goods arrive with the documents biosecurity officers expect.
Is my cargo insured door to door?
Marine cargo insurance runs about 2% of declared value and covers every leg — trucking, transshipment, ocean and final delivery. Recommended for anything fragile or valuable.
How firm is the 24-hour quote?
It holds for the cargo you declare. If the packed volume changes at survey, the per-CBM rate stays fixed and only the volume adjusts. Fuel surcharges are already included.
