What this origin is on this lane
Double clearance means both ends are covered: export declaration and release at the origin, plus Indonesian import clearance and duty payment, with the ocean leg through on a single shipment. Its value is not cheapness but consolidating responsibility into one contact — no separate broker, carrier and clearance agent for the shipper to chase.
How cargo from this city actually moves
The process has four stages: export declaration and release at origin, the ocean leg, Indonesian import clearance and duty payment, then container pickup and delivery. What must be asked item by item is the boundary — inspection charges, port and container demurrage, the final land leg beyond the delivery radius, and penalties beyond customs duty and import taxes, which are normally outside the package price. Fix these in the quotation and no extra charges appear on arrival.

What this city typically ships
- Routine replenishment for cross-border traders
- Factory equipment and production materials
- Phased project supplies
- Samples and small trial orders
Three things to settle when booking
- Ask exactly how far the package goes: covering duty does not cover inspection, demurrage or penalties — write the boundary line by line.
- Submit documents early: line up HS codes, invoice, packing list and FORM E first, since patching documents on arrival is hardest.
- Confirm the delivery radius in advance: beyond it is costed separately, so send the full address for one check before booking.
Lines to fix in the quotation
- Quote ocean and inland legs separately, inland passed through at the prevailing rate
- Work cut-off and gate opening backwards from the sailing; hold the release note before the deadline
- List destination delivery as its own line and state door-to-door or port-to-port
Frequently asked, standard answers
How much is 20GP demurrage per day?
IDR 400,000–1,050,000 per day after free time (escalating bands, ≈USD 22–58).
How much is 40HQ demurrage per day?
IDR 700,000–1,575,000 per day after free time (escalating bands, ≈USD 39–88).
How much is ocean freight from China to Indonesia per container?
Market-driven; request a live quote from the carrier (THC treatment as stated in the quotation).
Does the package include customs duty?
It includes the clearance and payment actions; duty and import taxes are passed through per HS code at prevailing rates rather than fixed into the price.
Who pays inspection and demurrage?
These are non-routine, outside the package price and settled as incurred. We list it as a separate line in the quotation rather than hiding it in the total.
Can delivery reach the factory gate?
Yes within the delivery radius; beyond it is costed separately. Send us the full address and we will check once before quoting.

Next step
Ask exactly how far the package goes: covering duty does not cover inspection, demurrage or penalties — write the boundary line by line. Send us origin, destination, volume and weight and whether door delivery is needed. We return the load port, transit band and delivery radius against current sailings, plus the questions to settle.
