A Bali furniture wholesale container order consolidates rattan, teak and mahogany pieces into one mixed 20ft or 40ft HQ container that cubes out — roughly 25–28 CBM or 58–65 CBM of packed goods. Your minimum is a container that fills, not a fixed piece count. Prices are quote-based, built from your item list, FOB Semarang or Surabaya.
Buyers rarely order “100 chairs.” They order a container that cubes out with a mix — dining sets, lounge rotan, teak (jati) sideboards, mixed wood-and-metal accents — packed so the volume is used before the weight limit bites. That is the practical MOQ in Bali furniture (mebel) export, and it is where a container order either protects your margin or quietly wastes it.
What counts as one container order?
One container order is a single sealed unit — a 20ft standard or a 40ft high-cube — filled with a mixed load that reaches its usable volume. Indonesia’s wholesale trade classification KBLI 46420 covers wholesale of furniture and home furnishings in bulk to retailers, interior designers, hotels and export buyers, across wood, rattan and metal categories. That is exactly the buyer this page serves.
Because furniture is bulky and light, a container almost always “cubes out” (runs out of space) long before it “weighs out.” So the minimum that makes economic sense is one container that fills — not a headcount of pieces. A half-empty box still pays full freight.
How much fits in a 20ft vs a 40ft HQ container?
The table below is indicative and rounds real capacity down for packing reality — cartons never tessellate perfectly, and knock-down (KD) flat-packing changes everything. Treat piece counts as illustrative only; the real number comes from cubing your actual item list, as of 2026 and subject to change.
| Container | Internal volume (approx) | Practical furniture load | Example mixed pieces | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20ft standard | ~33 CBM | ~25–28 CBM (cube-out) | ~150–250 | First order or single range |
| 40ft high-cube | ~76 CBM | ~58–65 CBM (cube-out) | ~350–550 | Full range, repeat buyers |
A 40ft HQ gives you more than double a 20ft’s usable furniture volume, which is why repeat buyers consolidate a full range into 40ft HQ while first-time buyers often test the water with a 20ft. Knock-down teak and stackable synthetic rattan raise piece counts sharply; fully assembled sofas and cabinets lower them.
What does a container order cost to move?
Every figure below is an example to show structure, drawn from a published Bali furniture sourcing guide at its own (undated) exchange rate — as of 2026 and subject to change. Your real quote is built per item and per spec from your list, never a fixed catalogue price.
| Cost line | Indicative range (USD, as of 2026) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| FOB chair (example) | 105–175 per chair | IDR 1,700,000–2,800,000 at guide rate |
| Export packaging | 5–20 per piece | per item |
| Inland transport to port | 100–300 | per container/shipment in Bali |
| Sea freight (short routes) | 80–200 per CBM | per CBM |
| Sea freight (long routes) | 150–350 per CBM | per CBM |
| Customs brokerage | 150–400 | per shipment |
| Local delivery (destination) | 100–500 | destination side |
| Import duty | 0–5.7% of customs value | varies by country |
That guide gives an example FOB chair price of IDR 1,700,000–2,800,000 — roughly USD 105–175 each at its stated rate — and suggests budgeting an extra 25–40% above FOB for a small-to-medium LCL shipment to Australia, Singapore or Europe. Import duties are set by the destination country; the guide cites 0–5.7% of customs value as typical for furniture from Indonesia across major markets. We do not guarantee any duty rate or clearance outcome.
How is a mixed container built and stuffed?
Stuffing is planned before anything is loaded. Heavy teak case goods form the floor tier; lighter rattan and KD panels stack above; fragile finishes go last with corner protection. A good loading plan sequences items so nothing bears weight it cannot take and every void is filled with smaller pieces.
You should receive a stuffing report at seal: a photo set of the load in progress, the final piece count against your packing list, container and seal numbers, and the CBM actually loaded. That report is your proof of what shipped and your first reference if a claim arises at destination.
How does ordering a container work?
- Send your item list (csh_qf). Share products, quantities, target specs, finishes and destination port. Attach photos or SKUs where you have them.
- Get a cubing plan and quote. We calculate packed CBM, recommend 20ft or 40ft HQ, and return a quote-based estimate per item — not a fixed price.
- Confirm and deposit. Approve specs, samples and the loading plan; a production deposit books workshop slots at Bali and Jepara workshops.
- Production and QC. Workshops build to spec; we check grade, finish and moisture before packing.
- Stuffing and report. The container is loaded to plan and sealed; you receive the stuffing report, photos, piece count and CBM loaded.
- Documents and FOB handover. Invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin and timber-legality papers move with the box; it hands over FOB at Semarang or Surabaya.
What documents travel with the container?
A typical export shipment carries a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading (or airway bill), certificate of origin, and timber-legality certificates for the wood. In Indonesia, SVLK is the national timber legality system, and a V-Legal document issued by an LVLK (a legality verification body) is the standard proof of legal wood for export; FSC certificates apply where a workshop holds them.
Importing into the EU now means preparing deforestation-related due diligence — geolocation and legality records — under the bloc’s rules. We help assemble the document pack and check requirements through Indonesia’s INSW (national single window), including HS-code and restricted-goods (Lartas) checks. But we prepare documents; we do not promise a specific customs or EUDR result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to fill a whole container, or can I consolidate?
You do not need to fill a 40ft HQ alone. A 20ft standard cubes out at roughly 25–28 CBM, and smaller volumes ship as LCL (less-than-container-load) consolidated with other cargo. The Juara Holding Group desk cubes your item list first, then advises whether LCL or a full 20ft is cheaper per piece.
How many pieces fit in a 40ft HQ container?
There is no fixed number — a 40ft HQ holds roughly 58–65 CBM of packed furniture, so piece count depends entirely on your mix. Knock-down teak and stackable rattan might reach 350–550 pieces; bulky assembled sofas far fewer. We calculate the real figure by cubing your actual specs, as of 2026 and subject to packing reality.
What is a stuffing report and why does it matter?
A stuffing report is your proof of what actually shipped. At container seal you receive load photos, the final piece count against the packing list, container and seal numbers, and the CBM loaded. It confirms nothing was missed, documents packing condition, and becomes your first reference if a shortage or damage claim arises at destination.
Which port will my Bali furniture container ship from?
Containers usually load FOB from Java or Bali ports — commonly Semarang or Surabaya for Jepara-made teak and mixed goods, with Bali-side inland transport to reach them. The exact port depends on where your pieces are built and consolidated; the desk confirms it in your cubing plan, along with the inland-haul cost.
Can I mix rattan, teak and mahogany in one container?
Yes — a mixed load is the norm and the whole point of a wholesale container order. Rattan (natural or synthetic), teak, mahogany and wood-and-metal pieces travel together, packed by weight and fragility. Wooden items each need timber-legality documentation (SVLK/V-Legal or FSC); synthetic rattan does not, so mixed loads simply carry mixed paperwork.
