Is export packing a separate charge or included in the shipping quote?

Included. The LCL rate of USD 350–450 per CBM to Australia, or USD 400–550 to the USA and EU (as of 2026), covers foam wrap, corner protection, palletisation and photo documentation. Custom crating for fragile pieces is confirmed within the band before you commit.

Can you crate a single fragile item like a mirror or marble-top table?

Yes. LCL runs from one CBM, so a lone marble-top table, framed mirror or carved panel can travel in its own crate: double foam-wrapped, corner-guarded, ISPM-15 marked and photographed before loading.

Will I get photos proving how my furniture was packed?

Yes. Before loading, the crew photographs each item wrapped, palletised and crated, then sends you the dated set. A marine cargo insurer relies on that record to honour a claim, and it settles any dispute over how a piece left Bali.

Does the packing include ISPM-15 wood treatment for customs?

Yes. Crates and pallets are heat-treated to a 56°C core for at least 30 continuous minutes, or fumigated, then marked on two opposing faces. DAFF and EU customs require this on wood packaging from Indonesia.

Can you collect furniture from several Bali showrooms in one shipment?

Yes. Crews collect across Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu and Kerobokan and [consolidate](/bali-furniture-consolidation-service/) at a Denpasar-area warehouse into one LCL or container load, usually cheaper per CBM than shipping each store’s items separately.

Bali Furniture Export Packing Service, Insurance Grade

A cracked leg or snapped mirror is where self-arranged shipments go wrong. We set the standard for how every piece is wrapped, protected and documented.

Quick answer

Export packing means foam-wrapping, corner-protecting, palletising and individually crating your Bali furniture to insurance grade, photo-proofed and ISPM-15 compliant, with LCL from USD 350–450 per CBM to Australia and USD 400–550 to the USA and EU.

Four layers

How each piece is protected

Matched to the item, so an insurer can see it was demonstrably protected.

Wrap: Foam sheeting and stretch film on every surface, edge and turned leg
Corners: Hard cardboard or moulded guards on tops, edges and headboards
Pallet: Strapped to treated timber, so a forklift never touches the furniture
Crate: Custom solid wood for marble tops, carved panels, mirrors and lighting
Glass, mirror, marble: Double foam plus fragile marking
Proof: Dated photos of every crate and pallet before loading

Why it matters

The part budget forwarders skip

Export packing is the single biggest predictor of whether furniture arrives intact. Insurance grade means packing thorough enough that a marine cargo insurer will honour a damage claim, because the piece was demonstrably protected.

What we manage is the standard: how every piece is wrapped, protected and documented before it goes near a container. Packing crews work in the Kerobokan and Denpasar area.

Bali Furniture Shipping is an independent shipping concierge, not a carrier or licensed customs broker. Crating, freight and clearance are arranged through vetted licensed forwarders.

Cost

Priced inside the CBM rate

Packing sits inside the door-to-door per-CBM rate rather than arriving as a surprise line item, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

There is no minimum order: LCL starts from a single CBM, and a multi-item load is the CBM count times the band. Custom crating for very fragile pieces may sit within the band depending on crate size; the desk states this before you commit.

Compliance

Why the crate itself is inspected

Your solid-wood crate is wood packaging, and destination customs checks it. Under the IPPC/FAO ISPM-15 standard, wood over 6 mm must be debarked, heat-treated to a 56°C core for at least 30 continuous minutes or methyl-bromide fumigated, then marked on two opposing faces.

Australia’s DAFF applies this to pallets, dunnage, crating, cases, packing blocks and skids. Skip it and the crate can be held, treated on arrival at your cost, or destroyed.
