Shipping Methods: Air Freight & Sea Freight

There are two main methods for shipping goods from China to Indonesia: sea freight and air freight. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific needs and requirements.

Air Freight

Air freight is the fastest way to transport goods from China to Indonesia, with delivery times typically ranging from 5-7 days. This mode of shipping is ideal for time-sensitive cargo or items with a short shelf life. However, air freight can be more expensive than other shipping options, particularly for heavy or bulky items.

Sea Freight & Container Shipping

Sea freight is a cost-effective option for shipping larger volumes of goods from China to Indonesia, with transit times typically ranging from 35-45 days. This mode of shipping is suitable for non-perishable items and those that do not require urgent delivery. Sea freight involves the use of containers, which come in standard sizes of 20 feet and 40 feet.

Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping

FCL shipping is the most affordable option for larger shipments, as you will be required to book an entire container (either 20ft or 40ft) for your goods. This option is ideal for businesses shipping large quantities of goods, as it offers better economies of scale.

Less than a Container Load (LCL) Shipping

LCL shipping allows you to pay only for the space your goods occupy within a container, making it an ideal choice for small businesses and individuals shipping smaller quantities of goods. In LCL shipping, a freight forwarder will consolidate multiple shipments into one container, which is then shipped to Ghana.

Door-to-Door Delivery

Door-to-door delivery offers the convenience of having your goods picked up from the supplier in China and delivered directly to your address in Indonesia. This service eliminates the need for you to handle customs clearance and transportation arrangements, making the shipping process hassle-free.

What are the different types of airfreight?
