Furniture Export and Shipping Process

Exporting furniture from Indonesia requires meticulous attention to documentation. The cornerstone is the SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) certification, a mandatory requirement for all wood-product exporters. This ensures that the timber used is legally harvested and traceable. Each consignment must ship with a V-Legal Document, providing strong legality evidence under the EU Deforestation Regulation and the US Lacey Act. Our team handles all necessary documentation, guaranteeing compliance with international standards.

Our furniture is crafted from a variety of high-quality materials, each offering unique benefits. We specialize in solid teak and reclaimed/recycled teak from Jepara, mahogany, suar/acacia for live-edge designs, and a range of natural and synthetic rattan options. Upholstery includes genuine leather and durable synthetic alternatives. Stone and terrazzo are also available for tabletop finishes.

At Maron Leather Co., we offer a comprehensive range of material grades to suit different market needs and budget constraints. Our teak furniture is available in grades A, B, and C, with Grade A being the highest quality, featuring uniform color and minimal knots. For upholstery, we provide full-grain leather for premium products and top-grain or split leather for more cost-effective solutions.

Quality control is integral to maintaining the high standards expected by our clients. Our quality assurance process includes multiple stages of inspection, from raw material selection to final product evaluation. Each piece undergoes rigorous checks for structural integrity, finish consistency, and adherence to design specifications.

Typically, solid-wood furniture requires a per-item MOQ of 5-20 pieces, while woven/rattan products need 10-30 pieces per model or color. Orders are generally shipped in 20ft containers, with a minimum capacity of 25-28 CBM. Furniture loading capacities are approximately 28 CBM for a 20ft container, 58 CBM for a 40ft, and 68 CBM for a 40ft High Cube.

Beyond the SVLK certification, we are committed to adhering to various global quality, safety, and environmental standards. Our operations comply with the latest ISO certifications, and our products meet the requirements set by the US Lacey Act and the EU Timber Regulation.

Each item is carefully packed using materials that provide cushioning and protection during transit. We use sturdy, recyclable cardboard, foam padding, and shrink-wrap to minimize damage risks. For larger items, custom crates are available to ensure stability and security.

Production lead times vary based on order size and complexity, typically ranging from 30 to 60 days. Once production is complete, sea-freight transit to destinations such as the US, EU, and Australia takes approximately 3-5 weeks, subject to route and seasonal variations.

We primarily operate under FOB (Free On Board) terms, where we manage export clearance and loading at Indonesian ports. Other terms like CFR (Cost and Freight) and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) are also available. Our main export seaports include Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, Tanjung Emas in Semarang, and Benoa in Bali.

A deposit of approximately 30-50% via T/T (bank transfer) is typically required to initiate production, with the balance payable against a copy of the Bill of Lading. These terms are negotiable for repeat buyers.
