Our Solutions

Detailed Process

Exporting handicrafts from Bali starts with understanding both Indonesian export regulations and your destination country’s import requirements. Our team reviews your products to identify any export restrictions (certain antiques and cultural heritage items require special permits), classify goods under the correct HS codes, and determine if fumigation or other treatments are needed for wooden products.

We prepare the PEB (Pemberitahuan Ekspor Barang) customs declaration, obtain Certificate of Origin (SKA) for preferential tariff treatment under applicable free trade agreements, and coordinate fumigation services certified under ISPM 15 standards for all wooden items and packaging. For silver and jewelry exports, we ensure proper valuation documentation and compliance with precious metals regulations.

Professional export packaging is critical for fragile Balinese art and handicrafts. We coordinate with specialized packers experienced in handling delicate wood carvings, paintings, and ceramics. Custom wooden crates, foam padding, and moisture barriers protect your products during the entire journey. Each shipment is professionally photographed and documented for insurance purposes.

Our logistics team arranges competitive freight rates with major shipping lines and airlines based on your shipment size, weight, and destination timeline requirements. We provide real-time tracking and coordinate with our agent network at destination for smooth import clearance and final delivery to your buyer or warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an export license for Bali handicrafts?

You need a valid NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha) to export commercially. Some products like certain antiques, cultural heritage items, and protected wood species require additional permits from the Ministry of Education and Culture. We verify your products against the restricted export list before processing.

Is fumigation required for all wooden products?

Wooden products and wooden packaging materials exported internationally must comply with ISPM 15 standards, which require heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation. We arrange certified fumigation and apply the required marks. Non-wood products using cardboard or plastic packaging are exempt.

How can my Bali crafts get preferential tariff rates abroad?

Through Certificate of Origin (SKA) under Indonesia’s free trade agreements. ASEAN partners, Australia/NZ (AANZFTA), Japan, Korea, and others offer reduced or zero tariff rates for qualifying Indonesian products. We obtain the appropriate SKA to save your buyers on import duties.

What are the best shipping methods for Bali handicrafts?

Sea freight (LCL or FCL) is most economical for large orders. Air freight suits smaller, time-sensitive shipments. Express courier works for samples and small orders. We recommend the optimal method based on volume, value, weight, and your buyer’s delivery timeline.
