Temporary Ban on Shipping Liquids from Indonesia

by
Temporary Ban on Shipping Liquids from Indonesia

As of January 1st, the shipment of liquids via EMS express was prohibited. The ban applies until the corona measures are relaxed!

The reason given to me by the post office was that customs, which scans every package, no longer allows liquids to pass through. They couldn’t explain to me what the meaning was.

But I suspect, since it is close to the start of vaccination, that they want to prevent the vaccine from being exported illegally from Indonesia. I don’t see any other reason.

Due to Corona, the following substances have been banned so far: 

  • Seeds (official certificate of safety)
  • Roasted coffee beans and unroasted (count as seeds) ground coffee are permitted
  • all forms of liquids
  • all flammable and explosive substances
  • Batteries also in watches

Alternatives for shipping liquids

According to information from DHL Indonesia, shipping liquids via DHL is still possible. The problem here is that DHL is extremely expensive and shipping takes place in boxes. Even if the weight is less than 2 kg, the package must go into this box. Smallest shipping option with DHL from Indonesia. 2 kilograms for 1,600,000 Rp (approx. 95 €)

Unhindered shipping is currently only possible to Asia. Stricter shipping regulations apply to all other continents!

Express Shipping Only Until January 2021

Bis Januar 2021 nur Express-Shipping from Indonesia möglich

Corona is restricting air traffic all over the world. But this also means that postal delivery is affected.

Indonesia has been in lockdown since March 15, 2020. A relief in August was withdrawn by the Indonesian government. The new plan is now to start the gradual opening of Indonesia in January 2021. Until this point, shipping is only possible via express. However, this shipping method works reliably. Shipping to Germany usually takes 5 to 10 working days.

In order to get an overview, I would like to show you the shipping costs that you will incur when placing an order. The shipping costs are usually calculated on the one hand based on the shipping weight and on the other hand based on the volume.

Scope calculation / shipping costs:

L x W x H / 6,000

30 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm / 6,000 = 2 kg

This means that even if the item weighs only 500 grams, the shipping costs would be 2 kg.

Furthermore, the shipping costs depend on the exchange rate, which causes the shipping costs to vary. At the same time, the value of the goods in the delivery influences the insurance costs, which are usually negligible. 

Shipping to Germany (Express Shipping)

100g = €20.00

250g = €20.00

500g = €21.00

1,000 g = €30.00

1,500 g = €38.00

2,000 g = €46.00

3,000 g = €63.00

4,000 g = €79.00

5,000 g = €96.00

Shipping is possible up to 20 kg.

As soon as standard and sea freight is possible again from Indonesia, I will post this in a blog post. Even if shipping from Indonesia is now more expensive than usual, the shipping costs have an advantage. The goods will be with you within 5 to 10 working days.

Shipping Restrictions During the Coronavirus Crisis

Shipping Restrictions During the Coronavirus Crisis

Due to the restrictions on air and shipping traffic, standard shipping and sea freight will probably not be possible until mid-August. However, express shipping works without any problems.

Air traffic has been restricted in Indonesia since mid-March. This means that shipping is only possible via Express Shipping. So far the restrictions have been extended twice. The next date for further opening of Indonesia to international air traffic will be decided on August 18, 2020.

As soon as standard shipping is possible again, we will announce this in a separate article. Until then, shipping from Indonesia is only possible via express shipping. 

The delivery time of the package is usually 5 to 10 working days and works without any major problems. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time. However, there may be shorter delays because the packages are not brought directly from Jakarta to Germany, as this tracking shows!
