Frequently Asked Questions #

How long does shipping from Australia to Indonesia take?

The Indonesia Express route takes approximately 10–14 working days from the Melbourne warehouse. Weekly dispatch every Wednesday — parcels must arrive before no fixed cut-off. Indonesia Customs can be complex, so actual transit may vary.

How is the shipping cost to Indonesia calculated?

Charged by chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight = L×W×H(cm)÷5000, minimum 1kg. Visit cal.ebaoguo.com for the latest rates.

Do I need to pay customs duty when shipping to Indonesia?

On the Indonesia Express route, tax is prepaid: approximately 21% of the declared value (VAT + import duty combined) is collected before dispatch, and a top-up applies if the actual assessment is higher. On the Australia Post Standard route (DDU), the recipient pays any tax at Indonesian Customs. Always declare accurate item names and values.

Can I ship Australian health supplements and baby formula to Indonesia?

Personal quantities (generally up to 3 months’ supply) of baby formula and supplements are typically accepted. Indonesia’s BPOM agency regulates imported food and supplements — commercial quantities require an import licence. Vitamins, fish oil, and baby formula in reasonable amounts are generally fine.

What items are prohibited from being shipped to Indonesia?

Prohibited: weapons and ammunition, narcotics, e-cigarettes and vape products (fully banned), pornographic material. Strictly controlled: alcohol (import licence required), food and agricultural products (BPOM registration required), supplements with controlled ingredients. Always declare accurately.

How do I register an ebaoguo account and track my shipment?

Register at dashboard.ebaoguo.com using your email or Google/Gmail account. You’ll receive a dedicated Melbourne warehouse address. After submitting a shipment request, track your parcel from the dashboard. Estimate costs at cal.ebaoguo.com before shipping.
