What this origin is on this lane
Fuzhou and Xiamen both sit in south-east Fujian, but Fuzhou has fewer deep-sea mainline calls of its own, so most cargo consolidates by road to Xiamen Haicang or Dongdu for export. What this page weighs is the trade-off between that extra road leg and the sailing advantage of shipping direct from Xiamen.
How cargo from this city actually moves
Arrange consolidation first: cargo from Fuzhou and the surrounding counties is gathered at the stuffing point and then trucked into the Xiamen port area. Xiamen's cut-off and gate-opening figures follow the parent page, so work the release note backwards from there. Prepare clearance documents to the rhythm of Jakarta, Semarang or Surabaya respectively, and complete FORM E before departure.
Transit reference (from the parent lane table)
| Indonesian destination | Load terminal |
|---|---|
| Jakarta | Haicang / Dongdu · 6–10 days |
| Semarang | Haicang / Dongdu · 9–16 days |
| Surabaya | Haicang / Dongdu · 10–18 days |
| Medan | Haicang / Dongdu · 12–20 days |
What this city typically ships
- Stone and building materials
- Footwear, apparel and finished textiles
- Electromechanical products and parts
- Aquatic processing and food raw materials
Three things to settle when booking
- For stone, verify HS codes and supervision conditions first: a wrong description costs more to amend on arrival than the freight itself.
- Fix the consolidation point early: counties are scattered, and ad hoc trucking most easily misses the cut-off.
- For food and aquatic products, ask about import licences and inspection requirements first rather than discovering missing certificates after sailing.
Lines to fix in the quotation
- Confirm free time and free storage against the carrier's current terms and ask every overstay charge item by item
- Line up FORM E and HS codes first; preferential duty is passed through at prevailing rates
- Quote ocean and inland legs separately, inland passed through at the prevailing rate
Frequently asked, standard answers
How many free days are granted for container use?
7 days from discharge by default (extension to 14 days can be requested).
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).
Can cargo sail directly from Fuzhou?
Deep-sea mainlines are denser at Xiamen, so Fuzhou cargo mostly consolidates there. We choose on current sailings plus inland cost and quote both options.
What should be watched when shipping stone to Indonesia?
Verify HS codes and supervision conditions first and state description and weight as actual. Amending on arrival usually costs more than checking in advance.
When should FORM E be arranged?
Before departure. It is the evidence for preferential duty, and arranging it after sailing is too late — ordinary rates apply instead.
