FCL Container Shipping to Indonesia: 20ft, 40ft and 40HC to Jakarta
For exporters, overseas suppliers and foreign companies shipping full containers to Indonesia. We move your container from the port of loading to Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, clear it through Indonesian customs and deliver it to the warehouse or industrial estate. Choose port to port with customs clearance under the consignee’s own licence, or DDP all-in with duties and taxes included.

What Happens When the Container Arrives at Tanjung Priok
Pre-arrival check. We prepare the import declaration from the invoice, packing list and B/L, and check HS codes and permits before the vessel arrives.
Inspection lane. Indonesian Customs assigns the lane. If a physical inspection is required, timing follows the inspection schedule and document completeness.
Release. Once duties and taxes are paid (or included under DDP), the release order is issued and the container can leave the port.
Delivery. The container is trucked to the warehouse, for example in Jakarta, Bekasi, Cikarang, Karawang or Tangerang, or forwarded to other islands by sea.
Check Restricted Goods Before Loading
Many goods need an Indonesian permit before import (for example SNI, BPOM, telecom certification, quarantine or an import approval). We check the HS code and requirements at the quotation stage, not after the container is held. Start with our import licence guide for foreign companies and Indonesia import duty and tax.
Documents We Need
Commercial invoice and packing list
Bill of lading
Photos of the goods
Consignee details exactly as on the B/L, with NIB and tax number if importing under its own name
Certificate of origin (for example Form E) if a preferential duty rate applies
Permits for restricted goods, when required

Whether the consignee has an Indonesian import licence
Who can be the importer for an FCL shipment into Indonesia?
The consignee must hold an Indonesian business licence (NIB) that works as an importer identification (API) with the right business classification. If your buyer or subsidiary does not have one yet, we can ship under IDX Import DTD DDP, where the import is declared under our importer licence and duties and taxes are included in one price. See importer of record in Indonesia.
How long does an FCL import take to reach the warehouse?
Sea transit from the port of loading (estimates per lane are on our rates page), plus customs clearance in Jakarta, which depends on complete documents and the inspection lane, plus trucking. We do not promise a delivery date before the documents are complete.
Who pays demurrage and storage?
Under IDX Import DTD DDP, storage and demurrage are covered by us unless caused by errors or late documents from the customer. Under IDX Import Port to Port they are paid by the customer.
Can you handle 40HC, heavy or out-of-gauge cargo?
20ft, 40ft and 40HC are on our rate card. Overweight, open top, flat rack and breakbulk are confirmed per shipment together with the trucking plan. See project cargo Indonesia.
How are charges invoiced and paid?
Every shipment is quoted in writing with the service name, what is included and excluded, and the validity. Charges are payable in advance as stated on the quotation.
