Bali mixed-material furniture wholesale covers pieces that pair wood or rattan with metal — teak-and-iron dining tables, rattan-and-steel chairs, mahogany tops on powder-coated frames. Orders ship as one mixed container (kontainer campur) that cubes out, FOB Semarang or Surabaya, priced per item from your spec list, not a fixed catalogue rate.
Mixed-material — logam plus kayu or rotan — is the fastest-moving look in the trend-driven wholesale market right now: industrial-rustic, Scandi-industrial and “warehouse luxe” ranges that retailers and interior designers reorder every season. This page maps what those combinations are, how workshops keep the besi (iron) from rusting at sea, how a two-material piece gets classified for customs, and what it costs to fill a container. Every figure here is indicative, as of 2026 and subject to change — your real quote comes from your item list.
What counts as mixed-material furniture in a Bali order?
Mixed-material means at least two structural materials in one piece — most often a wood or rattan surface on a metal frame. Under Indonesia’s wholesale trade classification KBLI 46420, which covers wholesale of furniture and home furnishings to retailers, interior designers, hotels and export buyers, these pieces sit alongside all-wood and all-rattan lines. Here are the combinations Bali and Jepara workshops build most:
| Combination (local term) | Typical pieces | Usual metal finish | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rattan + iron (rotan + besi) | bistro chairs, bar stools, plant stands | powder-coat black or bronze | indoor; synthetic rotan for covered outdoor |
| Teak + steel (jati + baja) | dining tables, benches, consoles | powder-coat or raw waxed | reclaimed jati tops are top sellers |
| Mahogany + iron (mahoni + besi) | cabinets, side tables, shelving | e-coat plus topcoat | painted and stained ranges |
| Rattan + aluminium | lounge and terrace sets | anodised or powder-coat | lighter; better for humid coastal retail |
| Wood + brass (kayu + kuningan) | accent tables, mirror frames | lacquered brass | decorative, boutique volumes |
How do Bali and Jepara workshops stop the metal rusting at sea?
Corrosion (karat) is the one failure mode buyers of wood-and-metal furniture fear, because a container crossing the equator runs hot, humid and salt-laden for weeks. Workshops manage it at two stages — coating and packing.
Coating options, cheapest to most protective:
- Zinc primer + lacquer — budget, indoor only.
- Powder coating — the workshop standard; a baked polyester layer that resists chips and moisture.
- Electrophoretic coating (e-coat) — even coverage into welds and joints, good for detailed frames.
- Hot-dip galvanising — heaviest protection, used where frames face real outdoor exposure.
On packing, ask for kiln-dried wood at 8–12% moisture, individual foam or carton wrap, corner protection, and silica-gel desiccant or VCI (vapour corrosion inhibitor) paper inside the polybag. No workshop can guarantee zero corrosion across every climate — but a written coating spec plus a checked pre-production sample is how serious importers control it.
How is a wood-and-metal piece classified for customs?
A mixed piece raises one practical question at the border: which material sets the code? Furniture generally falls under HS headings 9401 (seats) and 9403 (other furniture), and within those the sub-heading usually follows the material that gives the piece its essential character, under the standard rules of interpretation. A rattan seat on a slim iron frame is read differently from a heavy steel chair with a little rattan trim.
Two things stay true whatever the split:
- Any wood component pulls the piece into Indonesia’s timber-legality system. SVLK is the national timber legality standard, and a V-Legal document issued by an LVLK (a licensed legality-verification body) is required as proof of legal wood for export; FSC is an accepted alternative on many orders.
- You confirm the exact code, duty and any restrictions (Lartas) through INSW, Indonesia’s national single window, before quoting a landed price. Import duty on furniture from Indonesia commonly runs 0–5.7% of customs value across major markets — but that is the buyer’s border, not a promise we can make.
EU-bound importers should also prepare deforestation due-diligence records: geolocation of the wood’s origin plus legality evidence. Prepare the documents; never treat a specific customs or EUDR outcome as guaranteed.
What does a mixed-material container cost to fill and ship?
Price on mixed-material is quote-based per piece, because a rattan-and-iron stool and a reclaimed-teak-and-steel banquet table share almost no cost structure. The figures below are illustrative examples from a Bali furniture sourcing guide, at the guide’s undated exchange rate — use them to understand the shape of a landed cost, then get a real quote from your spec list.
| Line item | Indicative range (USD, 2026 — example only) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| FOB piece (example chair) | 105–175 (IDR 1,700,000–2,800,000) | per chair |
| Export packaging | 5–20 | per piece |
| Inland transport Bali → port | 100–300 | per container/shipment |
| Sea freight (shorter route) | 80–200 | per CBM |
| Sea freight (longer route) | 150–350 | per CBM |
| Customs brokerage | 150–400 | per shipment |
| Local delivery at destination | 100–500 | per shipment |
| Import duty | 0–5.7% | of customs value |
For a small-to-medium LCL shipment to Australia, Singapore or Europe, that sourcing guide suggests budgeting an extra 25–40% above FOB to cover packing, freight, brokerage and delivery. A full mixed container that cubes out — 20ft or 40ft HQ — usually lands a better per-piece rate than loose LCL.
How does a mixed-material quote work, step by step?
- Send your item list — piece, material combo, finish, metal coating, dimensions and target quantities — to the Juara Holding Group desk.
- Get a per-piece quote plus a cube plan showing how your mix fills a 20ft or 40ft HQ.
- Approve a pre-production sample or photos, locking coating and finish before the run.
- Production proceeds while SVLK/V-Legal and the export document pack are prepared.
- Goods are cubed and loaded FOB Semarang or Surabaya.
- You receive the document pack — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and timber-legality certificate — and the container sails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the metal on mixed-material furniture rust during ocean shipping?
It can if it’s left raw. Reputable Bali and Jepara workshops powder-coat, e-coat or galvanise frames before assembly, then pack with desiccant and moisture barriers for the container’s humid, salt-laden transit. Ask for the exact coating spec in writing. No workshop can guarantee zero corrosion, so inspect coating quality on your pre-production sample.
Which HS code applies to a rattan-and-iron chair?
Seating is generally classified under HS heading 9401, and the sub-heading usually follows the material giving the piece its essential character under the customs interpretation rules. A rattan seat on a light iron frame may class differently than a heavy steel chair with rattan trim. Confirm the code through Indonesia’s INSW single window before you quote landed cost.
Can I combine rattan, teak and mahogany with metal pieces in one container?
Yes — that’s the standard MOQ here. One mixed 20ft or 40ft HQ container that cubes out can hold rattan, teak, mahogany and wood-and-metal items together. Every wood component still needs SVLK/V-Legal documentation, and the packing list itemises each material so customs and geolocation records line up. The desk builds the cube plan from your item list.
Do mixed-material pieces still need SVLK if only part is wood?
Yes. Any wood component brings the piece inside Indonesia’s timber-legality system, so a V-Legal document from an LVLK covers the wooden parts for export. The metal parts don’t need SVLK but do belong on the packing list. EU-bound buyers should also prepare geolocation and due-diligence records — prepare the documents, but never assume guaranteed clearance.
