Furniture Import · The Cost Anatomy
Bali Furniture Import Pricing & Cost Guide
Five cost lines — freight, insurance, port handling, customs brokerage and final-mile delivery — plus duty and tax assessed separately on CIF value. Every figure here is indicative, dated 2026 and subject to change.
The final duty bill is always determined by Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai. This is an import-concierge cost guide for expats and villa owners, not a hotel roundup.
Exhibit 01 · The line items
What Do You Actually Pay For When Importing Furniture to Bali?
The same components every time, whether one teak dining set or a full villa fit-out — indicative ranges as of 2026.
- Sea freight, LCL — consolidated, origin port to Indonesia
- USD 85–160 per cbm
- Sea freight, FCL 20ft — roughly 28 cbm usable
- USD 2,200–4,800 per box
- Sea freight, FCL 40ft — roughly 58 cbm usable
- USD 3,200–6,800 per box
- Marine insurance — all-risk on invoice value plus freight
- 0.3–0.8% of insured value
- Port handling and transhipment — Jakarta or Surabaya discharge, on-carriage to Bali
- USD 350–900 per shipment
- Customs brokerage — licensed broker under power of attorney
- USD 250–600 per entry
- Fumigation and timber paperwork — treatment plus SVLK/FSC and phytosanitary checks
- USD 120–400 per shipment
- Door-to-door delivery — truck, crew and placement in Canggu, Ubud, Seminyak or Sanur
- USD 150–450 per drop
- Import duty, PPN, PPnBM — assessed on CIF value by HS code
- Quoted per item; final figure set by Bea dan Cukai
Wood furniture cannot clear customs without SVLK or FSC timber-legality paperwork, and may also need fumigation or phytosanitary certificates — budget that line from day one, not as a surprise at the port.
Uncleared cargo accrues storage and demurrage fees daily, so a complete document set lodged before arrival saves more money than shaving any single rate.
Most furniture reaches Bali by sea through Jakarta or Surabaya with onward transhipment; Ngurah Rai Airport cargo suits only fragile, high-value pieces worth the substantially higher cost of air.
Exhibit 02 · The freight
LCL or FCL: Which Freight Option Fits Your Budget?
The crossover sits around 12–15 cbm as of 2026: below it, paying per cubic metre wins; above it, a 20ft container is usually cheaper per item and considerably safer.
Bali’s tropical humidity puts mold and warping risk on every sea shipment, so we specify moisture-barrier packing and tropical-grade crating on both modes, with climate-controlled storage when a villa is not ready to receive.
- Where a container starts to beat LCL
- 12–15 cbm
- All-risk marine insurance, of insured value
- 0.3–0.8%
- LCL origin to villa, via Java transhipment
- 6–10 weeks
- For an itemised estimate, roughly
- 48 hours
Indicative, as of 2026 and subject to change.
Exhibit 03 · The duty
How Are Duty, PPN and PPnBM Calculated?
On CIF value — cost plus insurance plus freight — according to the HS-code classification of each item.
Three layers can apply to furniture: import duty (bea masuk), VAT (PPN) and, for qualifying luxury goods, luxury sales tax (PPnBM). We deliberately publish no fixed percentages: rates differ by HS code and change over time, so any website quoting one flat “Bali furniture duty rate” is guessing.
A serious quote pre-classifies every piece, shows duty as a separate pass-through line, and states plainly that the final assessment is made by Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai at clearance.
Green channel means a document-only check; red channel means physical inspection. Mis-declaration carries penalties that can include fines and confiscation, so we work through the official channel only — under-invoicing is never on the table. The broker acts under power of attorney, and an NPWP tax number can be required.
