Three compliance essentials
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| GACC-registered plant | Must come from a GACC-registered Indonesian processor |
| CAIQ traceability label | Each piece/bottle carries a CAIQ label, scan to verify |
| Official health certificate | Issued by Indonesia, meeting protocol requirements |
Common trap: buying from an unregistered plant and relabeling — the whole batch is held at the port. Only buy from the registered list.
Shipping: air freight for high-value cargo
| Product | Mode | Route | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean nest (dry) | Air (Soekarno-Hatta) | → Guangzhou/Shenzhen/Xiamen | 1-3 days |
| Bulk clean nest | Reefer / air consolidation | Jakarta → Guangzhou/Shanghai | 3-12 days |
