About UD Bali Trade - Animal Skins & Betel Nut Supplier in Indonesia

Indonesia‑based UD Bali Trade lists five active products in its catalogue. The items are crocodile skins, rabbit skin, Capiz shells, oyster shell, and dried whole areca nut, the latter recorded with HS code 0802.90 and described as Dried Whole Areca Nut (Areca catechu).

The supplier is classified as an imported tier with a harbor trust tier.

Product Range and Specialties of UD Bali Trade

The catalogue covers four types of natural shells and skins plus one agricultural nut. Crocodile skins are typically graded by size, pattern clarity and thickness, with grades ranging from A (large, defect‑free) to C (smaller, minor blemishes); rabbit skins are sold in pelts measured in centimeters and are used for fur garments. Capiz shells, harvested from the windowpane oyster, are usually 70‑80 mm in diameter and 0.5‑1 mm thick, prized for their translucency in decorative lighting. Oyster shells are bulk‑shipped for calcium supplements or substrate and are classified under shell material. Dried whole areca nuts are exported under HS 0802.90 and are commonly supplied in 20 kg bags for the betel‑nut market.

Trade and Export Information - UD Bali Trade

Indonesia exports animal skins and decorative shells primarily to the European Union, United States and East Asian markets, where demand for luxury leather and interior décor items is strong. Crocodile skins fall under HS Chapter 41 (animal skins and hides) and usually require CITES documentation and a phytosanitary certificate; rabbit skins follow the same chapter but often need only a standard sanitary certificate. Areca nuts under HS 0802.90 are subject to pesticide residue testing and must meet the importing country’s food safety regulations. Typical shipping formats include 20‑foot containers for shells (up to 1 t) and 40‑foot containers for skins (up to 600 kg), with Incoterms such as FOB or CIF commonly used.

Sourcing from UD Bali Trade - Buyer Guidance

Buyers should request a CITES permit copy for any crocodile skin order and verify the skin grade with high‑resolution photos showing pattern and edge condition. For rabbit skins, ask for a recent sanitary certificate and measurements of pelts to confirm size specifications. Areca nut purchases should be accompanied by a certificate of origin, pesticide residue analysis, and moisture content below 12 %. Shell products benefit from a sample of shell thickness and a packing list indicating container load plan to avoid breakage. Verifying these documents before contract signing helps ensure compliance with import regulations and product quality expectations.
