Agarwood Export is an Indonesian agarwood chips supplier sourcing plantation-first gubal and chips across Papua, Maluku, and Kalimantan, priced as a grade-dependent band of roughly USD 500-7,000/kg (as of 2026, indicative). We broker legal, CITES-permitted wholesale lots and confirm every quote within 24 business hours.
We are a sourcing broker and information hub, not a permit authority. Legal export of Aquilaria material requires a CITES export permit plus a BKSDA recommendation, and is subject to a Non-Detriment Finding; always confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia) and your import country. Our trade desk is operated by Juara Holding Group, and we route buyers to plantation and legally-documented supply only. We never sell permit certainty or guarantee customs clearance.
What grades of Indonesian agarwood chips do we supply?
Indonesian chips are commonly described across about nine grades. The tiers that matter most to wholesale buyers are Super A, Super B, Super C, and Sabak; the remaining grades mostly denote wood size and resin quantity. Grading is an industry convention that varies by region and tradition, not an official Indonesian national standard, so we grade every lot against three objective criteria before we quote.
| Test criterion | What we check | Higher-grade signal |
|---|---|---|
| Density | Water immersion | Chips that sink carry more resin |
| Resin saturation | Visual veining | Black-brown “tiger-stripe” veins, not a uniform plastic-like black |
| Aromatic intensity | Hot-plate or steam test | Stronger, longer-lasting fragrance |
Higher resin content correlates with stronger fragrance, higher density, and a higher grade. That relationship is why we test rather than take a seller’s label at face value, and why buyers get a graded sample before committing to bulk.
How much do Indonesian agarwood chips cost per grade?
Agarwood pricing is a band, never a single number, because grade drives everything. Our canonical plantation chip band runs USD 500-7,000/kg (as of 2026, indicative; the final quote confirms grade and scope). For context, buyer guides quote Indonesian chips at roughly USD 5-15 per 10 g at the low end and USD 100-300+ per 10 g for premium Super A.
| Grade tier | Character | Indicative wholesale (USD/kg) | Retail context (per 10 g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super A / super | High resin, sinks, intense aroma | 4,000-7,000 | 100-300+ |
| Super B / A | Strong veining, dense | 2,000-4,000 | 20-60 |
| Super C / B | Moderate resin, partial sink | 900-2,000 | 20-40 |
| Sabak / lower (C/D) | Low resin, size-graded wood | 500-900 | 5-15 |
Distilled product sits in a different league: oud/agarwood oil runs USD 30,000-80,000/kg (as of 2026, indicative). Market commentary in 2026 shows how wide the spread has become, with superior pure wild material cited near US$290,000/kg while artificial or plantation stock may sit near US$100/kg. For a sense of how far the market has moved, TRAFFIC’s field data from Apau Kayan, East Kalimantan in 1997 reported “super grade A” agarwood at IDR 1,250,000 per kg, about USD 450/kg at the time.
Which Indonesian regions produce the best agarwood chips?
Wild agarwood from Papua and Maluku is regarded as typically superior, and East Kalimantan, notably Apau Kayan, is a documented historical wild-sourcing area. We keep those regions in view for grade benchmarking, but our supply pipeline leads with plantation and cultivated Aquilaria because it is easier to permit and more sustainable.
Bali is our logistics and consolidation base, not a price origin. We do not publish Bali-specific price sheets, because no reliable Bali-only price table exists in the trade; what Bali gives buyers is export access, documentation coordination, and consolidated freight, not a separate grade of wood.
Why does a plantation-first supplier matter for legal export?
Most Aquilaria and Gyrinops species are listed under CITES Appendix II, so international trade is allowed but regulated. CITES paperwork distinguishes source code W (wild) from P (plantation or artificially propagated), and plantation material is generally easier to permit and more sustainable. Indonesia’s 2024 Non-Detriment Finding set a wild Aquilaria malaccensis quota of just 24,110 kg, which tells you how tight legal wild supply really is.
Moving processed agarwood between Indonesian regions also requires a wood transport permit, the Surat Angkutan Kayu Olahan (SAKO), from the local forest authority, and harvest from State forests in Kalimantan needs a permit under Forestry Regulation No. 28. We coordinate this documentation with licensed partners so your lot is traceable end to end. We never promote or facilitate illegal wild-harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply agarwood chips wholesale or only in retail quantities?
We work with wholesale buyers first: distributors, distillers, and Gulf and China trade houses ordering by the kilogram. Send your target grade and volume, and we match plantation lots and quote within 24 business hours. Smaller graded samples are available so you can verify quality before committing to a bulk contract.
Can an Indonesian agarwood chips supplier ship legally to the Gulf and China?
Yes, when the paperwork is complete. Aquilaria is CITES Appendix II, so legal export requires a CITES export permit plus a BKSDA recommendation, subject to a Non-Detriment Finding. We coordinate that documentation with licensed partners, but we are a broker, not a permit authority, so confirm current rules with the CITES Management Authority and your import country.
How do I verify the grade of agarwood chips before buying?
We grade every lot on three objective tests: density by water immersion (sinking chips carry more resin), resin saturation shown as black-brown tiger-stripe veining rather than uniform black, and aromatic intensity via hot-plate or steam. You can request a graded sample first, since grading conventions vary by region and are not a national standard.
Are plantation agarwood chips as fragrant as wild ones?
Plantation chips can reach strong grades, though top wild Papua and Maluku material is still regarded as typically superior. Fragrance tracks resin content, not simply wild versus cultivated origin, so a high-resin plantation lot outperforms a low-resin wild one. We lead with plantation supply because it is more sustainable and far easier to permit under CITES.
What is the minimum order for plantation agarwood chips?
Minimums depend on the grade and the current legal quota rather than a fixed weight, since higher tiers like Super A are scarcer. Share your destination and target volume and we confirm a workable minimum and an indicative price within 24 business hours. We never guarantee customs clearance, only honest sourcing and documentation support.
