Indonesia Lane · DG LCL (Less-than-Container Load)

Dangerous Goods LCL Shipping
from China to Indonesia

Weekly LCL space from Shanghai to Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Cikarang, Bandung, Belawan and Batam for IMDG Classes 2.2, 3, 4.1, 6.1, 8 and 9. Rates are quoted per cubic meter with 2, 3 or 5 CBM minimums. Jakarta runs either on a Thursday direct call or on a Singapore relay, and the two price very differently, so pick the routing before you book.

DG LCL to Indonesia: what the numbers mean

Two routings sit behind these prices. The Southeast Asia service sails Thursdays: Jakarta is a direct call in 11 days, while Semarang, Surabaya, Cikarang and Bandung clear customs in Jakarta and are relayed onward in 16 days. The Singapore relay sails Friday or Saturday and is priced by PSA tier — PSA3 for most destinations, PSA2S for Surabaya when the cargo is classified into that tier.

Every rate is the November 2026 Shanghai DG LCL sheet, with the base rate taken as an absolute value and USD30/CBM added per cubic meter. Volume minimums are 2 CBM at most destinations, 3 CBM for Batam door delivery and 5 CBM for Surabaya on PSA2S. Ocean freight is only part of the invoice: add the RMB local charges, VGM, relay handling and the Class 2 or Class 4.1 surcharges where they apply.

How to read this sheet: “Direct” means a carrier call at the destination; “relay” means the box moves on through the port shown. “Jakarta clearance” means the customs entry is filed in Jakarta and the cargo is trucked or fed onward from there — the relay handling fee is billed per B/L, not per CBM. CISF is marked N at every Indonesian destination. Jakarta appears in both groups: USD85/CBM on the 11-day direct call versus USD145/CBM on the 20-day Singapore relay, so the two are not interchangeable.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL sheet (ETD November 1–14, 2026) with the negative sign removed from the base rate and USD30/CBM added per cubic meter. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.

3Which hazard classes can be consolidated as LCL from China to Indonesia?

The Indonesia lane accepts IMDG Class 2.2, 3, 4.1, 6.1, 8 and 9 cargo for LCL.

4How is the minimum volume calculated for China–Indonesia DG LCL?

Most destinations take a 2 CBM minimum. Batam door delivery is 3 CBM and Surabaya on PSA2S is 5 CBM. Cargo below the minimum is billed at the minimum, and the figure is shown on the bill of lading.

5What do the RMB local charges on this lane cover?

Handling RMB200/BL; cargo declaration RMB200 per commodity; vessel declaration RMB100 per commodity; Class 4.1 surcharge for outlying-terminal cargo RMB800 per shipment; and a USD200 destination surcharge on Class 2 cargo by default.

6How are VGM and CISF charged from China to Indonesia?

VGM is USD15/BL. Every Indonesian destination is marked N in the CISF column of the November 2026 sheet, so nothing is billed there.

7Which points clear customs in Jakarta, and what is the relay handling fee?

Semarang, Surabaya, Cikarang and Bandung all clear customs in Jakarta and are relayed from there in 16 days. Relay handling is billed per B/L: Semarang USD275, Surabaya USD350, Cikarang USD100, Bandung USD200.

8How is the PSA tier confirmed for cargo relayed through Singapore?

Singapore splits dangerous goods into PSA1, PSA2 and PSA3 tiers. We need the 16-item MSDS for each shipment before booking so the local tier can be confirmed. This page quotes PSA3 and PSA2S.

Prepaid (PP) charges must not be marked up — bill only the amount on this sheet. Freight-collect bills of lading have to show FREIGHT COLLECT.

11Do Friday and Saturday sailings differ for Yangtze-restricted UN numbers and lithium batteries?

Yes. Friday sailings accept Yangtze-restricted UN numbers and lithium batteries; Saturday sailings do not.

12What receiving hours apply to Class 2, 3 and 4.1 cargo?

During the warm-weather window, June 15 – October 15, 2026, the warehouse receives Class 2, 3 and 4.1 cargo only from 08:00 to 10:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00.

13How far ahead must I book DG cargo, and what do I send?

Book at least ten working days before the sailing, in writing, so space can be applied for with the carrier. Send the Export Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate with the booking (a fax copy is accepted); cylinder cargo also needs the export cylinder safety performance inspection certificate and report.

14When are the original certificates and export declaration documents due?

Four days before the booked sailing at the latest: the original Export Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate and the Dangerous Goods Technical Data Sheet, plus the complete export declaration set in original — customs power of attorney (three copies; the first copy is accepted if stamped with the company seal and the legal representative seal), export declaration for the applicable trade mode, commercial invoice and packing list in English with company seal or signature stamp, and a product description (Chinese is accepted).

15When does cargo have to be in the warehouse, and how are warehouse charges billed?

Cargo must reach our nominated warehouse no later than four days before the sailing. The warehouse charges a loading and unloading fee when the truck arrives; that fee sits outside the RMB local charges.

Every shipment has to be palletized and hazard-labelled. If you want us to do the palletizing and labelling, it is billed separately.
