Common questions
What is Grade A teak furniture?
Grade A teak is cut from the mature heartwood of the teak tree, with high natural oil and tight grain that resists weather and insects. It is the premium grade for outdoor and export furniture; Grade B and C come from younger or outer wood with more variation.
Why is teak kiln-dried to 8-12% moisture content?
Kiln-drying teak to 8-12% MC stabilizes the wood before manufacturing so it does not crack, warp, or shrink in transit or in the destination climate. Unseasoned teak above this range is a common cause of claims.
What is the HS code for teak furniture?
Teak furniture is classified under HS code 9403 (wooden furniture). Exact sub-headings depend on the item; we provide the correct classification with the commercial invoice and packing list.
What is SVLK and why does it matter?
SVLK is Indonesia's mandatory timber legality verification system. It documents that the teak is legally sourced, which matters for compliance with EU (EUTR/EUDR) and US (Lacey Act) import rules.
What is the MOQ for teak furniture?
MOQ is container-anchored: most wholesale orders are a full 20ft (~25-28 CBM) or 40ft HC (~58-68 CBM) container, often mixing items. Samples and smaller trial orders can be arranged by quote.
Where is the teak furniture made?
We source from vetted workshops in Jepara (Central Java, Indonesia's furniture hub) and Bali, and ship FOB from Tanjung Emas (Semarang) or Tanjung Perak (Surabaya).
Will outdoor teak furniture turn grey?
Yes — untreated teak naturally silvers to a grey patina under UV, which is structurally harmless. It can be kept golden with periodic teak oil, or left to weather; both looks are common in hospitality projects.
Do you ship flat-pack or assembled?
Both. Flat-pack (knock-down) maximizes container volume and reduces breakage; fully assembled suits items where build quality must be guaranteed. We advise per item and order.
Methodology & data sourcing
Specifications are stated as export-standard ranges (e.g. kiln-dried 8-12% MC, container CBM bands) and FOB prices as indicative, market-linked figures confirmed per purchase order, because grade, item, finish, and raw-material conditions vary. We publish only what we can support and document legality via SVLK.
