Indonesian agarwood export services from Agarwood Export run the full legal chain end to end: sourcing plantation-grown gaharu, objective grading, CITES export permit and BKSDA recommendation coordination, export documentation, and CITES-aware freight. We are a Bali-based sourcing broker and information hub — not a permit authority — routing every managed shipment through one accountable trade desk.
If you buy or export agarwood, the hard part is rarely finding wood. It is proving the wood is legal, graded honestly, documented correctly, and cleared for shipment. Aquilaria and most Gyrinops species sit under CITES Appendix II, so trade is allowed but regulated. Our managed service exists to hold that chain together for you — plantation-first and paper-tight.
What is included in Indonesian agarwood export services?
We split the work into five deliverables, each with a named owner on our desk. You brief us once; we run sourcing, grading, permit coordination, documentation, and freight as a single engagement rather than five disconnected vendors.
| Service | What it includes | Deliverable you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing | Plantation-first supplier vetting, sample pull, quantity and continuity check | Shortlisted offers with origin and source code (P plantation / W wild) |
| Grading & QC | Density test (water immersion), resin saturation (“tiger-stripe” veining), aroma test (hot-plate/steam) | Grade sheet per lot: Super A/B/C, Sabak or size-based grades |
| Permit coordination | Assembling CITES export permit and BKSDA recommendation inputs, NDF and quota check | Document pack readied for the CITES Management Authority (issuer, not us) |
| Documentation | Commercial invoice, packing list, HS code guidance, SAKO inter-regional transport permit | Export-ready file set matched to your import country’s asks |
| Freight & logistics | Forwarder selection that understands CITES cargo, packing spec, insurance introduction | Booked shipment with tracking and handover to your buyer |
Grading rests on three objective criteria — density, resin saturation, and aromatic intensity — because higher resin content correlates with stronger fragrance, higher density, and a higher grade. We grade to those tests, not to a supplier’s word. Indonesian chips are commonly described across about nine grades, with Super A, Super B, Super C and Sabak as the key tiers; the rest mostly denote wood size and resin quantity. These are industry conventions that vary by region — not an official Indonesian national standard — so we always state the grading basis in writing.
How much do managed agarwood export services cost?
Agarwood price is a grade-dependent band, never a single number, and our fees are quoted per engagement against scope. Below is the canonical product band we work to as of 2026 — indicative, with the final quote confirming grade and scope.
| Product | Grade band | Indicative price (2026) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plantation agarwood chips | Low-resin (C/D) to Super | USD 500-7,000 / kg | Grade-dependent band; final quote confirms grade & scope |
| Oud / agarwood oil | Distilled | USD 30,000-80,000 / kg | Purity and origin drive the figure |
| Chips (retail reference) | Low grade C/D | USD 5–15 per 10 g | Buyer-guide context |
| Chips (retail reference) | Mid grade B/A | USD 20–60 per 10 g | Buyer-guide context |
| Chips (retail reference) | Premium Super A | USD 100–300+ per 10 g | Buyer-guide context |
The wild-versus-plantation gap is wide by design: 2026 market commentary notes superior pure wild agarwood can reach around USD 290,000/kg while artificial or plantation material may sit near USD 100/kg. We build offers plantation-first, so your pricing tracks the sustainable, easier-to-permit end of that band. For historical grounding, TRAFFIC’s report “Heart of the Matter” recorded “super grade A” agarwood in East Kalimantan’s Apau Kayan at IDR 1,250,000/kg in 1997 — useful context, not a current quote.
How does the export process work, step by step?
We keep it to five stages so you always know where a shipment stands.
- Brief and quote. Send grade, volume, product (chips or oil), and destination. We return an indicative quote within 24 business hours.
- Sourcing and grading. We pull samples, run the three grading tests, and confirm source code P or W with origin documented.
- Permit and documentation coordination. We assemble inputs for the CITES export permit and BKSDA recommendation, check the Non-Detriment Finding and quota, and prepare the SAKO transport permit and export file. Indonesia’s 2024 NDF set a wild Aquilaria malaccensis quota of 24,110 kg, which we factor into feasibility.
- Freight booking. We select a forwarder that understands CITES cargo, agree packing and insurance, and book the shipment.
- Dispatch and handover. Goods move with a complete document set; you and your buyer receive tracking to delivery.
Do you handle the CITES permit and guarantee clearance?
No — and any broker who promises otherwise is a warning sign. Legal export requires a CITES export permit and a BKSDA recommendation, subject to a Non-Detriment Finding confirming trade will not harm wild populations. Issuance sits with the designated CITES Management Authority (Indonesia); we coordinate and prepare, we do not issue. We never sell permit certainty and never guarantee customs clearance in your destination country. Always confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia) and your import country before you commit to a shipment. Our job is to make the paperwork complete and honest so avoidable friction disappears — the legal decisions stay with the authorities.
How do you start a managed export enquiry?
One trade desk, plantation-first, CITES-honest. Tell us your grade, volume, and destination and we will map a legal, documented route from Indonesian source to your buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in managed Indonesian agarwood export services?
Our managed service covers five stages: sourcing plantation gaharu, objective grading by density, resin and aroma, coordinating the CITES export permit plus BKSDA recommendation, preparing export documentation including the SAKO transport permit, and booking CITES-aware freight. You get one accountable trade desk for the whole chain instead of juggling separate suppliers, graders, and forwarders.
Do you handle the CITES permit and BKSDA recommendation for me?
We coordinate and prepare the paperwork, but we are a sourcing broker, not a permit authority. Legal export requires a CITES export permit and a BKSDA recommendation, subject to a Non-Detriment Finding. Issuance stays with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia). Always confirm current requirements with them and your import country before shipping.
How long do agarwood export services take from quote to dispatch?
We return an indicative quote within 24 business hours of your brief. Sourcing, grading, and permit coordination timelines vary by grade, volume, and current quota — plantation material (source code P) is generally faster to permit than wild. We give a realistic schedule per shipment and never promise a fixed clearance date we cannot control.
Can you export both agarwood chips and oud oil?
Yes. We handle plantation agarwood chips, indicatively USD 500-7,000 per kg by grade, and oud or agarwood oil at roughly USD 30,000-80,000 per kg as of 2026 — both confirmed on final quote against grade and scope. Oil and solid wood carry different documentation, so we scope each product line separately.
Do you guarantee customs clearance in the destination country?
No. We never guarantee customs clearance or sell permit certainty. Clearance depends on your destination country’s rules, inspections, and the import permit you hold there. We prepare complete, accurate export documentation to reduce friction, but final admission is decided by the importing authority. Confirm current requirements with your import country before shipping.
