Product Range and Specialties of Nusanto

Nusanto’s catalogue covers a wide spectrum of Indonesian commodities. For Aloe Vera leaf, exporters generally target a leaf length of 20‑30 cm and a moisture content below 12 %, with phytosanitary clearance required. Brown sugar bars are commonly produced to ICUMSA 45 grade, with a sucrose purity of ≥ 99 % and moisture ≤ 5 %. Cassava roots destined for starch extraction are expected to have a starch content of 20‑25 % and a moisture level under 14 %.

Fresh pineapples exported from Indonesia are usually graded A or B based on weight (1.0‑1.5 kg per fruit), external appearance and Brix values above 12 %. Ginger shipments typically meet a minimum gingerol content of 0.5 % and a moisture range of 8‑10 %. Coal from Indonesian mines is often classified as thermal coal with a calorific value of 5,000‑6,000 kcal/kg and ash content below 15 %. Corn kernels are graded by moisture (12‑14 %) and foreign matter less than 0.5 %. Coconut shells are supplied as clean, dry shells with size fractions of 20‑30 mm, while rattan plates are produced to a thickness of 3‑5 mm. Live mud crabs are graded by carapace width (6‑8 cm) and must be delivered with a live‑animal health certificate. Sunflower oil is typically refined to an acid value below 0.1 % and a peroxide value under 10 meq O₂/kg.

Trade and Export Information - Nusanto

Indonesia is a major exporter of tropical horticultural produce and mineral commodities to East Asia, the European Union, the Middle East and North America. Buyers of fresh Aloe Vera, pineapple, mangosteen and other fruits usually require phytosanitary certificates, HACCP compliance and, for some markets, organic certification. Sugar bars and corn are often shipped under CIF terms in 20‑ft containers, while bulk coal is transported by bulk carrier vessels to power‑generation hubs in China, Japan and South Korea.

Typical documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and where applicable a sanitary export certificate issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. For edible oils such as sunflower oil, buyers frequently request a Certificate of Analysis confirming free fatty acid level, iodine value and absence of pesticide residues. Packaging standards follow ISO 9001 for container sealing and ISO 14001 for environmental handling of coal and wood waste. Freight forwarders commonly use 20‑ft or 40‑ft containers for solid goods, refrigerated containers for live mud crabs, and bulk carriers for coal shipments.

Sourcing from Nusanto - Buyer Guidance

Prospective buyers should request recent laboratory test reports for each commodity: ICUMSA grade for sugar, Brix or moisture analysis for fresh produce, calorific value for coal, and acid value for sunflower oil. Phytosanitary certificates and, where required, organic or fair‑trade verification should be confirmed before order confirmation. Verify that the supplier can provide an ISO‑9001 quality management system audit report if the buyer’s internal procedures demand it.

Samples are typically supplied in the same packaging as the commercial shipment; for fresh produce a 5 kg sample batch is standard, while a 1 L oil sample suffices for quality testing. Buyers should also check the supplier’s ability to meet standard Incoterms such as FOB Jakarta Port or CIF Shanghai, and confirm lead times - most fresh produce requires 7‑10 days from harvest to loading, whereas coal and raw shells may need 20‑30 days for bulk handling. Confirm packaging integrity (e.g., polypropylene bags for corn, sealed drums for oil) and ensure that the shipping method aligns with the product’s temperature and moisture sensitivities.

What are the standard lead times for shipment?

Fresh horticultural items generally need 7‑10 days from harvest to loading, while live mud crabs require a 24‑hour chilled transport window. Bulk commodities like coal or coconut shell may require 20‑30 days for processing, packaging and container loading.
