Should I ship by groupage or full container between Indonesia and Thailand?

There are three main categories of standard container sizes:

  • The 40-foot HQ (High Cube), with a capacity of 76 cubic meters.
  • The 40-foot container, with a capacity of 67 cubic meters.
  • The 20-foot container, with a capacity of 33 cubic meters.dimensions-container

Each of these containers can be shipped by two different transportation methods.

 

LCL

Less than Container Load: This type of shipment, allows several people, who do not have enough goods to fill an entire container, to use the same container. The goods of various people are thus combined to fill an entire container.

This is the most cost-effective choice for small shipments of less than 15 m³.

LCL

Advantages of LCL

  • The advantageous rate for small volumes.
  • Allows for fewer but more frequent shipments, reducing storage expenses.

Disadvantages of LCL

  • Often longer delivery times due to loading and unloading of goods from all customers.
  • Increased risk of loss and damage from multiple loading and unloading.

FCL

Full Container Load: For this type of shipment, one person will use the entire capacity of the container. This minimizes the risk of damage to the goods.

This method would still be advantageous even if you did not fill the container completely. However, it is the most cost-effective for shipments over 15 m³.

FCL

Advantages of FCL

  • The advantageous rate for large shipments of goods.
  • Reduced risk of damage or loss of goods because containers are not opened during transit.

Disadvantages of FCL

  • A minimum volume of at least 15 m³ to be profitable.

Siam Shipping Alert: There are certain risks associated with LCL loading. During sea freight, your purchases may be damaged. Also, if your container partner encounters difficulties with customs during clearance, your customs clearance procedure may be delayed as well. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Special transports by sea between Thailand and Indonesia

Reefer container

The reefer container is used to transport chemicals or perishable products at controlled temperatures. It is equipped with a cooling system.

Roro

RORO (Roll On/Roll Off) vessels are used to transport vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, semi-trailers, and rail cars. They are considered the safest and most efficient vessels for heavy or special cargo.

Bulk

Bulk carriers are used to transport solid bulk materials such as minerals, grains, coal, or liquids such as crude oil, gas, and chemicals. These vessels are larger and easier to load and unload.

OOG

OOG cargo is cargo that exceeds the dimensions of a standard container. Two types of containers exist for these goods:

  • Open Top Container: they have no roof, which allows loading cargo that exceeds the height of the containers.
  • Flat Rack Container: these are flat containers without side walls or roofs, used for goods that cannot be loaded in standard containers.

How much does the sea freight cost between Thailand and Indonesia?

The cost of sea freight between Indonesia and Thailand will depend on several factors such as the type of cargo being shipped, the volume and weight of the cargo, the distance between the ports of origin and destination, the shipping method, and the current market conditions.

In general, the average cost of shipping a 20-foot container (TEU) from Indonesia to Thailand is approximately US$1,500 to US$3,000, depending on the shipping company, the port of origin and destination, and the time of year.

It is possible to estimate the cost if you know the exact weight and volume of your goods. To do this, you must follow these 3 steps:

  • Determine the PU (Paying Unit): for this, you need to compare the mass and volume of your cargo based on the theory of sea freight, which states that one ton = 1 m³. The higher value between volume and mass will be the UP. For example, for a volume of 20 m³ and a mass of 25 tons, the UP will be 25 tons.
  • Calculate the basic freight: to do this, multiply the cost of the UP by its number.
  • Calculate the net freight: with the following formula, Base freight + BAF + CSP - Rebate. The result will be the cost of your sea freight.

Tariff surcharges

Tariff surcharges may apply on your transport between Indonesia and Thailand, here are the main ones:

  • Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF): This surcharge is applied according to fluctuations in the price of fuel and may vary regularly depending on market conditions.
  • Security Surcharge (SCS): This surcharge is applied to cover costs related to port and vessel security.
  • Overcapacity surcharge (OWS): This surcharge is applied when demand for shipping is lower than supply, resulting in excess vessel capacity.
  • Congestion surcharge (CGS): This surcharge is applied in ports where congestion is high, resulting in extended waiting times for ships.

Customs clearance in Indonesia for goods imported from ThailandCustoms Clearance

Customs clearance in any country is an important and compulsory step that must be taken when importing or exporting.

When importing goods into Indonesia, customs clearance involves paying customs duties and VAT. You also need to pay close attention to the regulations and standards of the country you are shipping to, to avoid having your goods blocked at customs.

Here are the prohibited and regulated products in Indonesia:

  • Prohibited products: drugs, counterfeit goods, plants, animals, and some dangerous materials...
  • Regulated products: food (fruits, vegetables, meat, poison, milk), animals, weapons and ammunition, works of art, medicines, products…

Customs valuation

Customs valuation in Indonesia determines the value of imported goods in order to calculate the applicable duties and taxes. The competent customs authority in Indonesia is the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGDA).

Customs valuation is generally based on the transaction value, which corresponds to the price actually paid or payable for the imported goods. However, if the transaction value is not used or cannot be determined, other valuation methods may be used, such as the customs value of similar goods method, the deducted customs value method or the reconstructed customs value method.

It is important to note that Indonesia may require supporting documents such as purchase invoices, contracts, bills of lading and other commercial documents to prove the declared value of imported goods. Furthermore, additional duties and taxes may apply depending on the nature of the imported goods, such as anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties or value-added tax.

What are the customs duties and taxes in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, customs duties and taxes vary according to the type of merchandise imported, its country of origin and its value. Here are some key facts about customs duties and taxes in Indonesia:

  • Customs duties: Customs duties are taxes imposed on goods imported into Indonesia. Duty rates may vary according to the nature of the goods, and are generally expressed as a percentage of the customs value of the goods. The classification system used in Indonesia to determine duty rates is the Indonesian National Customs Classification (Harmonized System).
  • Value-added tax (VAT): VAT is a consumption tax applied in Indonesia. The standard VAT rate in Indonesia is 10%. However, certain products may benefit from reduced rates or be exempt from VAT.
  • Regional Development Tax (Pajak Pembangunan Daerah, or PPHD): The PPHD is a regional tax that may apply to certain goods imported into Indonesia. PPHD rates vary by region.
  • Specific taxes: In addition to customs duties, VAT and PPHD, there may be other specific taxes for certain products, such as tax on luxury goods, motor vehicle tax, etc.

How to calculate customs duties and taxes

Calculating customs duties and taxes on imports into Indonesia can be a complex process that depends on several factors, such as the type of product, its value, and its country of origin. Here are the general steps to follow:

  1. Customs classification: Determine the customs classification code of your goods using the Harmonized System (HS). This code represents the nature and characteristics of your product.
  2. Duty rates: Consult the Indonesian National Customs Classification to find the duty rate applicable to your customs classification code. Duty rates are generally expressed as a percentage of the customs value of the goods.
  3. Customs value: Calculate the customs value of your merchandise, which is generally based on the purchase price of the goods, including freight, insurance and other costs associated with importing.
  4. Customs duties: Multiply the customs value of your goods by the applicable duty rate. This will give you the amount of duty to be paid.
  5. Value-added tax (VAT): Apply the current VAT rate (generally 10% in Indonesia) to the customs value of the goods to calculate the amount of VAT payable.
  6. Specific taxes: Check whether there are any specific taxes applicable to your merchandise, such as luxury goods tax or motor vehicle tax. Consult the corresponding rates and calculate the amount of these taxes if applicable.

It's important to note that the customs clearance process and the calculation of duties and taxes can be complex. If you're unsure about how to calculate the duties and taxes for your specific import, it's always best to consult with a customs broker or freight forwarder like Siam Shipping. We can help you navigate the process and ensure that you're meeting all the necessary requirements.

How to find the HS code?

A system of classification for products used in international trade is the HS code (Harmonized System). It organizes goods into categories based on their nature and intended use, making the collection of statistical data and the customs clearance process easier. The HS system contains more than 5,000 different products, each of which is categorized using a distinct eight-digit number.
