The Process

How Your Piece Reaches You

Step 01

Final Inspection

Every piece is filmed and photographed before packing. You receive a pre-shipment condition report and a video walkthrough before we crate.

Step 02

Bespoke Crating

Furniture is packed in custom-built timber crates with foam bracing, moisture barrier, and anti-scratch lining. Crate dimensions are provided for your records.

Step 03

Export Documentation

We prepare CITES permit (where required), fumigation certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. All documents sent to you digitally before departure.

Step 04

Sea Freight

Shipment departs from Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) or Tanjung Perak (Surabaya). Full tracking provided. Insurance covers full replacement value in transit.

Step 05

Customs Clearance

We coordinate with a customs broker at your destination port. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility — we will provide a clear estimate upfront.

Step 06

White-Glove Delivery

Room-of-choice delivery and uncrating at your address. For larger pieces, two-person installation team available in most major cities. Crates removed after placement.

Legal & Compliance

Export Documentation

Buying antique teak internationally requires specific documentation. We manage all of it — you will receive a complete export package before your shipment departs.

CITES Permit

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Required for Tectona grandis (teak) exports to many countries. We obtain this on your behalf from the Indonesian CITES authority.

Phytosanitary / Fumigation

Required for all timber exports. Confirms the wood is free of pests and meets biosecurity standards at your destination — particularly Australia, New Zealand, and the US.

Certificate of Origin

Issued by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, confirming the piece was made in Indonesia. Required for preferential tariff treatment in several trade agreement countries.

Lacey Act (USA)

For US buyers: all imports of plant materials including timber require Lacey Act declaration. We provide full chain-of-custody documentation confirming legal sourcing.

Import Duties

Customs duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility and vary by country. We will provide a realistic estimate for your destination during the order process — no surprises.

Full Insurance

Every shipment is insured for full replacement value from point of collection in our workshop to delivery at your address. Claim process handled entirely by us.

Common Questions

Shipping FAQ

Is the USD price the amount I'll be charged at checkout?
No. The USD price shown on our site is an approximate reference to help international buyers understand the value. The canonical price is in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) — that is the amount charged at checkout via our Shopify payment system. The actual USD equivalent will depend on your bank's exchange rate at the time of payment. We recommend using a multi-currency card (Wise, Revolut) to minimise conversion fees.
Can I pay in USD, EUR, or GBP?
Our Shopify checkout processes in IDR. However, for large commissions and trade orders, we can arrange international wire transfer in USD or SGD. Please contact us to discuss payment options for orders above USD 5,000.
Who handles customs at my end?
We coordinate with a local customs broker at your destination port and provide all required documentation. For most destinations the process is straightforward. You will be responsible for import duties and taxes — we provide a realistic estimate before you confirm the order so there are no surprises.
What if my piece arrives damaged?
Every shipment is insured for full replacement value. In the unlikely event of damage in transit, contact us within 5 days of delivery with photographs of the crate and piece. We handle the insurance claim entirely — you will receive either a full replacement or a refund.
Can I visit the workshop before ordering?
Yes — we welcome visits to our Yogyakarta workshop by appointment. You will be able to select your teak directly from the archive and discuss your commission with the craftsmen. Contact us to arrange a visit date.
Is antique teak legal to import?
Yes, with proper documentation. All our teak is sourced from legal demolition and salvage operations in Indonesia. We provide CITES permits (where required), fumigation certificates, certificate of origin, and Lacey Act documentation for US buyers. We have successfully exported to more than a dozen countries — legal import is fully achievable with the right paperwork, which we prepare on your behalf.
