Indonesian furniture is known for its wide range of designs and durability, as well as its popularity in modern design. Most Indonesian furniture is made of teak, mahogany, mindi, and saur woods. We can arrange end-to-end furniture shipping services from all Indonesian sea ports, such as Tanjung Perak and Denpasar International Airport, to the U.S. at an affordable cost.
Finding a Qualified Indonesian Teak Furniture Supplier
There are many artisanal furniture fabricators in Bali, Indonesia, producing excellent and unique furniture such as chairs, tables, and more. The challenge is finding a supplier with the required certifications to export their products to the U.S., as well as the required export licenses and certifications from Indonesia. These include Tax Payer Identification Number (NPWP), the Business Identification Number (NIB) , and other documents required by the regulations, issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade.

Lacey Act Declaration
The Lacey Act combats illegal trafficking of wildlife, fish, and plants. It is against the law to import into the United States any illegally harvested plant or plant product, and certain products require a declaration. Teak furniture from Indonesia is subject to the Lacey Act. You will be required to fill out form PPQ 505 to import your Indonesian furniture into the U.S. We will submit this form to U.S. CBP once your cargo arrives to the U.S.
Registering as a Furniture Importer with U.S. CBP
You must register as an importer with the U.S. CBP to import furniture for commercial purposes into the U.S. We can register you as an importer on your behalf using a power of attorney. We can also assist you with purchasing a continuous entry bond if you plan on importing more than once per year.
