An oud oil distillery service in Bali arranges toll distillation of your legally sourced agarwood through vetted, licensed partner stills sitting close to plantation feedstock and export access. You supply CITES/BKSDA-compliant material; the partner grades it, soaks and distills it, then runs quality control and bottling. Juara Holding Group coordinates scheduling, documentation and export logistics — the final quote confirms grade and scope.
What does an oud oil distillery service in Bali actually cover?
This is a toll-distillation service: you own the wood, a partner distillery turns it into oil, and you keep the output. It suits buyers who have already secured agarwood — plantation chips, offcuts or dust — and want it processed cleanly rather than sold on as raw material.
Agarwood Export does not own the stills. Distillation is arranged through vetted, licensed partners, and Bali functions as a sourcing and export gateway rather than the cheapest wood region in Indonesia. Much of the strongest feedstock still comes from Papua, Maluku and Kalimantan; Bali gives you logistics, coordination and international shipping access in one place.
The service only accepts legally sourced feedstock. Plantation material (CITES source code P) is preferred because it is more sustainable and generally easier to permit than wild wood (source code W). We never process, promote or facilitate illegal wild-harvest.
How much does oud oil distillation cost, and how long does it take?
Toll fees are quoted per batch, not from a fixed public price sheet, because cost tracks feedstock grade, soak time, batch weight and still hours. For market context, finished natural oud oil runs roughly USD 30,000-80,000 per kilogram, and retail oud commonly sits at USD 200-1,000+ per millilitre (as of 2026, indicative — a real quote confirms grade and scope).
| Service option | Typical turnaround | What it includes | Pricing basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small artisan batch (sample / trial) | 2-4 weeks | Grading, soak, single-still run, basic QC | Quoted per batch after assessment |
| Standard toll batch | 4-8 weeks | Full grading, controlled soak, distillation, QC assay, bottling | Quoted per batch by feedstock grade |
| Repeat / contract distillation | Scheduled slots | Batch logging, traceability records, export-doc support | Quoted per programme |
Turnaround depends heavily on soak (fermentation) time, which can run from several days to a few weeks before the still is even fired. Higher-resin, sinking grades behave differently in the still than pale kemedangan, so timelines are set per batch, not promised in advance.
What happens at each stage of distillation?
Yield is grade-dependent: high-resin, sinking Super A and Super B feedstock returns materially more oil than low-resin wood, and every batch is assayed rather than assumed. The table below maps the process from intake to finished, documented oil.
| Stage | Spec / method | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Intake & legality check | Species, source code (W/P), origin, CITES/BKSDA status verified | Batch accepted or held for documentation |
| Grading & sorting | Density (water-immersion sink test), resin “tiger-stripe” veining, hot-plate aroma check | Feedstock sorted by grade (Super A/B/C, Sabak, mixed) |
| Soaking / fermentation | Ground chips soaked in water, controlled several days to weeks | Wood primed for oil release |
| Distillation | Hydro- or steam-distillation, copper or food-grade stainless still | Crude oud oil separated from hydrosol |
| QC & assay | Density, aroma intensity, resin-origin checks; batch record | Verified oil profile per batch |
| Bottling & documentation | Sealed bottling, batch date, harvest-to-batch traceability | Export-ready oil with paperwork trail |
Grading here follows industry convention, not an official Indonesian national standard. Indonesian material is commonly sorted across roughly nine grades, with Super A, Super B, Super C and Sabak as the key tiers; the rest largely denote wood size and resin quantity.
How does booking the distillery service work?
- Send your material details. Species, source code (W or P), weight, grade estimate, origin, and current CITES/BKSDA status. Photos and any existing permits help.
- Get a scoped quote within 24 business hours. We return still type, expected soak window, batch size, QC scope and an indicative yield range from the partner distillery.
- Confirm scope and reserve a slot. Agree turnaround, QC depth and documentation needs before wood is committed.
- Distillation and QC run. The partner soaks, distills and assays your batch — density, aroma intensity and resin-origin checks — with a batch log.
- Bottling, documents and export coordination. Sealed bottling plus paperwork support, including the Surat Angkutan Kayu Olahan (SAKO) transport permit for moving processed agarwood, and CITES export permit and BKSDA recommendation handled through the proper authorities.
Is my feedstock legal to distill and export?
Most Aquilaria and Gyrinops species sit under CITES Appendix II, so international trade is allowed but regulated. Legal export requires a CITES export permit plus a BKSDA recommendation and is subject to a Non-Detriment Finding confirming the trade will not harm wild populations — Indonesia’s 2024 NDF set a wild Aquilaria malaccensis quota of 24,110 kg. Plantation material (source code P) is generally easier to permit than wild wood.
Agarwood Export is a sourcing broker and information hub, not a permit authority. We never sell permit certainty or guarantee customs clearance. Confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia) and your import country before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does oud oil distillation cost per batch near Bali?
Toll-distillation fees are quoted per batch, not from a fixed price sheet, because cost tracks feedstock grade, soak time, batch weight and still hours. As market context, finished natural oud oil runs roughly USD 30,000-80,000 per kilogram (as of 2026, indicative). Send your material details for a scoped quote within 24 business hours.
Can I send my own agarwood for toll distillation in Bali?
Yes — toll (custom) distillation is the core service: you supply the wood, the partner distillery processes it, and you keep the oil. Feedstock must be legally sourced and documented, ideally plantation (source code P), with CITES and BKSDA paperwork in order. We confirm legality before any batch is scheduled.
What still type and soak time do the distilleries use?
Partner stills use hydro- or steam-distillation, usually copper or food-grade stainless. Chips are ground and soaked — a controlled fermentation — for several days to a few weeks before firing, and higher-resin sinking grades behave differently from pale kemedangan. Exact still type, soak window and run time are set per batch after assessment.
How do you confirm my feedstock is legal before distilling?
We check species, source code (W wild versus P plantation), origin and existing permits against CITES Appendix II rules before scheduling. Export needs a CITES permit plus a BKSDA recommendation and a Non-Detriment Finding. We are a broker and information hub, not a permit authority — confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia) and your import country.
Can foreign buyers visit a gaharu distillery near Bali?
Visits can be arranged for serious buyers, subject to the partner’s schedule and biosecurity rules. Bali offers sourcing and export access rather than being Indonesia’s cheapest wood region — much premium feedstock comes from Papua, Maluku and Kalimantan. Message the concierge to coordinate timing and confirm what you can inspect on site.
