How Much Does It Cost to Ship Goods Overseas from Indonesia?

If you want to send products from Indonesia, one of your first questions will likely be: How much does international shipping cost?

The answer depends on several key factors, including the destination country, shipment mode (air or sea), product weight and dimensions, and whether you use door-to-door or port-to-port services.

How Are International Shipping Rates Calculated?

Before estimating your costs, it's important to understand how shipping rates are determined.

Air Freight

Rates are usually based on the chargeable weight, which is calculated by comparing the actual weight of your package to its volumetric weight (based on its dimensions)—whichever is higher.

Sea Freight

For LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments, charges are typically based on cubic meter (CBM) volume.

For FCL (Full Container Load) shipments, you pay a flat rate depending on the container size (e.g., 20 ft or 40 ft).

Example Scenarios

Small parcels sent by air to nearby countries like Singapore or the Philippines may cost just a few hundred thousand rupiah, depending on chargeable weight.

Larger shipments sent by sea to Europe or the U.S. can range from millions to tens of millions of rupiah, depending on the total CBM or container type used.

Additional Costs to Consider

In addition to freight charges, exporters should also prepare for:

• Customs fees and taxes
• Port handling charges
• Documentation fees
• Inspection or permit costs (e.g., BPOM, Halal certifications)

These vary depending on your product type and destination.
