Swift Household Shipping to Indonesia via Air Freight
When time is of the essence for your move to Indonesia from the USA, air freight emerges as the optimal choice for swift delivery.
Opting for air freight ensures that your household goods reach Indonesia in a remarkably short timeframe of 2-3 days, making it the ideal solution for those requiring expedited shipping. While air freight may come at a premium compared to sea freight, its speed and reliability make it a preferred option for sensitive cargo, such as fine art or pianos, that demand quick and secure transportation.
Despite the higher cost associated with air freight, our experienced logistics team at SDC International Shipping is dedicated to assisting you in selecting the most cost-effective air freight forwarding solution tailored to your specific needs. Whether you have a large or small volume of items to ship, rest assured that our team will work diligently to ensure a seamless and efficient air freight experience for your household move to Indonesia.

Main Shipping Ports in Indonesia

Other ports that handle both household and commercial containers include Belawan, Makassar, and Sorong.
How Long Does It Take To Ship to Indonesia
The transit duration from the USA to Indonesia can vary depending on the chosen transit mode and shipping method. Typically, an ocean freight Full Container Load (FCL) shipment takes approximately 7-9 weeks for door-to-door service, while a Less than Container Load (LCL) shipment may require 9-11 weeks.
