As an international wholesale buyer, sourcing furniture from Bali offers a unique blend of quality craftsmanship and innovative design. At Saka Nusantara, we specialize in providing tailored solutions for importers, retailers, interior designers, and hospitality procurement managers. Our extensive knowledge in Indonesian furniture export ensures a smooth experience from inquiry to delivery.
Understanding RFQ: Key Elements to Include
A well-prepared Request for Quote (RFQ) is essential for a successful sourcing experience. When submitting your RFQ to Saka Nusantara, ensure it includes specific details such as materials, models, quantities, target market, and preferred Incoterm. Specifying materials is crucial, as we offer a variety of options including solid teak, mahogany, suar/acacia, and various types of rattan. Each material has unique qualities that suit different market needs. Indicate the models and quantities required, considering our typical per-item MOQ: 5-20 pieces for solid-wood furniture and 10-30 pieces per model/color for woven/rattan. Understanding your target market helps us tailor our offerings to meet your specific needs. Finally, choosing the right Incoterm, typically FOB, allows us to manage export clearance and loading at major Indonesian ports such as Tanjung Perak and Benoa. This detailed RFQ approach ensures clarity and efficiency in the sourcing process.

Post-Inquiry Process: What to Expect
Once your inquiry is submitted, our team at Saka Nusantara will guide you through the subsequent steps. Initially, we review your RFQ to ensure all necessary details are included. If additional information is required, we will reach out promptly. Following this, we prepare a detailed quote considering materials, quantities, and chosen Incoterms. Our production lead time typically ranges from 30-60 days, depending on order size and finishing requirements. Once production begins, we maintain regular updates on progress. Upon completion, we manage the export clearance and loading at designated ports. With FOB terms, you are responsible for booking sea freight and insurance. Expect a sea-freight transit time of approximately 3-5 weeks to major markets such as the US, EU, and Australia. This structured approach ensures a smooth transition from inquiry to delivery.
Materials and Their Unique Qualities
- Teak: Known for its durability and resistance to weather, ideal for outdoor furniture. Learn more about teak.
- Mahogany: Valued for its fine grain and rich color, perfect for elegant indoor pieces.
- Suar/Acacia: Offers a striking live-edge look, popular in contemporary designs.
- Rattan: Both natural and synthetic options available, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Explore more about rattan.
Each material is carefully selected to meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our commitment to using legally sourced timber is evidenced by our adherence to the SVLK certification, ensuring all wood products are legally harvested and traceable. This certification supports due diligence under regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation and the US Lacey Act. For more on our material offerings, visit our wholesale furniture page.
Understanding Container Loading and MOQs
Efficient container loading is critical in maximizing shipping value. A 20ft container typically holds approximately 28 CBM, while a 40ft container accommodates around 58 CBM, and a 40ft High Cube reaches up to 68 CBM. Our strategy allows for mixed-model and mixed-material containers, provided each item meets its per-item MOQ and the total load reaches the minimum CBM. This flexibility ensures you can optimize your order to suit various needs. For solid-wood furniture, expect MOQs of 5-20 pieces per item, while woven/rattan models require 10-30 pieces per model/color. This approach supports diverse product offerings within a single shipment, enhancing your competitive edge in the market. For more insights on our shipping practices, check our shipping process page.
Certifications: Ensuring Legality and Sustainability
At Saka Nusantara, compliance with Indonesia’s SVLK certification is non-negotiable. This mandatory Timber Legality Assurance System verifies that all timber used in our products is legally harvested and traceable. The SVLK certification is valid for three years, with annual surveillance to ensure ongoing compliance. This certification is crucial for international buyers conducting due diligence under the EU Deforestation Regulation and the US Lacey Act. While SVLK provides a robust legality framework, some of our partner factories also offer FSC certification for buyers seeking additional sustainability assurances. For more information on SVLK and its importance, visit the official SVLK website.
Pricing Structures and Incoterms Explained
Pricing for our furniture products is determined by various factors, including material, grade, specification, finish, volume, and chosen Incoterm. We typically operate on an FOB basis, where the seller manages export clearance and loading at the Indonesian port, while the buyer arranges sea freight and insurance. However, we also offer CFR/CNF and CIF terms for added flexibility. Our pricing is quoted per order, never as fixed prices, to accommodate the unique requirements of each client. This tailored approach ensures you receive competitive and transparent pricing aligned with your specific needs. For a detailed quote, we encourage you to submit a Request for Quote.
