Shipping & Logistics Guide for Wholesale Buyers

This guide covers everything you need to plan the logistics of your order from our factory in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to your destination port — including Incoterms, container specifications, documentation, and freight recommendations.

Our Standard Incoterm: FOB Semarang (Tanjung Emas)

Our default shipping term is FOB (Free on Board) — Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, Indonesia. Under FOB terms:

• We are responsible for all costs and risks up to and including loading onto the vessel at Jakarta port
• The buyer arranges and pays for ocean freight, marine insurance, and import customs clearance at the destination
• We provide the full set of export documents required for customs clearance

Alternative Incoterms available upon request: CFR (Cost & Freight), CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight), EXW (Ex-Works, Yogyakarta).

Container Specifications

Natural fiber baskets and lamp shades are bulky items with low weight-to-volume ratios. Most orders are shipped by volume, not weight. Standard container options:

• 20-foot container (20′ GP): approx. 25–28 CBM usable volume — suitable for smaller orders or dense products
• 40-foot container (40′ GP): approx. 55–60 CBM usable volume — recommended for most full-container orders
• 40-foot high-cube container (40′ HC): approx. 65–68 CBM usable volume — preferred for pendant lamp shades and tall basket products
• LCL (Less than Container Load): available for orders below full container volume; consolidated with other cargo at Tanjung Emas, Semarang

We provide exact CBM calculations per order with the packing list, allowing your freight forwarder to book the correct container size.
