Gaharu Export FAQ
Straight answers first. Indonesian plantation gaharu chips sell in an indicative band of USD 500-7,000/kg (grade-dependent), and oud/agarwood oil at USD 30,000-80,000/kg (as of 2026, indicative; a final quote confirms grade and scope). Legal export requires a CITES permit and a BKSDA recommendation — this site is a sourcing broker and info hub, not a permit authority.
Below are the highest-intent questions that buyers in the Gulf, China, and the Indonesian diaspora ask before ordering gaharu (agarwood). Each answer is date-stamped and routes to the Bali Premium Trip trade desk for a grade-specific quote.
Berapa harga gaharu per kg? (What does gaharu cost per kg by grade?)
Price is set almost entirely by resin content and grade. The brand’s canonical band is USD 500-7,000/kg for plantation chips and USD 30,000-80,000/kg for oud oil (as of 2026, indicative). Local grade pricing from Silvikultur UGM (October 2016) still frames the domestic ladder:
| Grade (local term) | Indicative price band | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Double super (gubal) | Rp 30-40 million/kg | Top plantation resin |
| Super tanggung | Rp 15-30 million/kg | High resin |
| TG-B | Rp 5-15 million/kg | Mid grade |
| Kemedangan | Rp 2-5 million/kg | Light resin |
| Gaharu teri | Rp 1-2 million/kg | Chips and offcuts |
| Abu / bubuk (powder) | Rp 20,000-50,000/kg | By-product |
Rare wild and top export grades run far higher. zonakeren.com (July 2025) listed export grades from Double King around USD 54,688/kg down to Medang C near USD 47/kg, and CNBC Indonesia (2022) cited up to USD 100,000/kg for the very best material. Treat those as third-party market figures, not brand quotes. For a grade-specific number, message the Bali Premium Trip trade desk on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
What is the minimum order quantity, and how does a quote work?
MOQ depends on grade — high grades trade by the kilogram, lower grades by the sack or carton. Rather than a fixed public MOQ, the desk confirms scope against your target grade, destination, and budget. Here is how a gaharu export quote works:
- Send specs — grade, quantity, destination country, and end use (chips, powder, or oil).
- Grading and sample — material is graded on resin, sinking, and aroma; a sample can be arranged.
- Indicative quote — priced within the canonical band (USD 500-7,000/kg chips; USD 30,000-80,000/kg oil, as of 2026).
- Legal pathway — the CITES permit and BKSDA recommendation are mapped before any shipment.
- Contract and shipment — terms confirmed in writing, then dispatch.

Apakah ekspor gaharu legal? (Is gaharu export legal?)
Yes, with the right paperwork. Aquilaria spp. is listed on CITES Appendix II, so legal export requires a CITES permit and a BKSDA (Balai Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam) recommendation, plus proof of legal origin via KLHK and, in practice, ASGARIN membership. Guidance from 2023-2025 notes a CITES export permit is typically valid up to about six months, with processing running up to roughly 60 days for some destinations.
Confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia) and your import country. This site is a broker and info hub — it does not issue permits and cannot sell permit certainty or a customs guarantee. The trade desk can map the pathway with you on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
Berapa harga minyak gaharu? (How much does oud oil cost?)
Oud oil (minyak gaharu) sits in the canonical band of USD 30,000-80,000/kg (as of 2026, indicative). Kumparan/banjarhits (South Kalimantan) reported high-quality agarwood oil at USD 20,000-50,000 per liter, driven by Middle East perfume and bakhoor demand, while tokolantaikayu.net (May 2025) quoted niche oud oil at Rp 5-30 million per 10 ml at retail. Distillation yield and wood grade move the number sharply. For a distillation-grade quote, contact the desk on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
Wild vs plantation gaharu — what can I export?
Plantation gaharu comes from cultivated Aquilaria trees that are deliberately inoculated to form resin, usually maturing over 7-15 years. Wild-sourced material carries heavier scrutiny and needs a BKSDA recommendation to prove legal origin. This brand is plantation-first and does not promote illegal wild harvest. Cultivated, documented stock clears the legal-origin test far more smoothly. Ask the desk which grades are available as plantation stock on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
Which countries buy Indonesian gaharu?
The Middle East leads — Gulf buyers value oud for perfume and bakhoor — followed by China, which 2024-2025 reports put at about 22.4% of the global market. One Middle East buyer,
| Market | What they buy | Indicative reference |
|---|---|---|
| Gulf / Saudi Arabia | Chips, oud oil, bakhoor | USD 500-7,000/kg by grade (2025) |
| China | Chips, carving stock | ~22.4% of global market (2024-2025) |
| Diaspora / Asia-Pacific | Chips, powder, oil | Fastest-growing region to 2033 |
The wider agarwood/oud market is projected near USD 23.47 billion by 2033 (about 7.12% CAGR, 2026-2033). To reach these buyers, start with the trade desk on WhatsApp 6281128590000.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a CITES gaharu export permit take to process?
Guidance from 2023-2025 indicates a CITES export permit for Aquilaria is typically valid up to about six months, with processing running up to roughly 60 days for some destinations. Timelines shift by case and country, so confirm current requirements with the CITES Management Authority (Indonesia). The trade desk can map the pathway on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
Does Gaharu Export guarantee my permit or customs clearance?
No. Gaharu Export is a sourcing broker and info hub, not a permit authority, and it will not sell permit certainty or a customs guarantee. It arranges grading and export logistics via vetted licensed partners and helps map the CITES and BKSDA pathway. Final approval rests with the authorities. Ask the desk on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
Can I order a sample before a bulk shipment?
Usually yes. Because gaharu price hinges on resin, sinking, and aroma, a graded sample helps both sides agree on the exact grade before a bulk order. The desk arranges sampling against your target grade and destination, then issues an indicative quote within the canonical band. Request a sample on WhatsApp 6281128590000 or sales@balipremiumtrip.com.
How fast will the trade desk reply to my enquiry?
The Bali Premium Trip trade desk works to a service level of within 24 business hours for gaharu export enquiries. Sending your target grade, quantity, destination country, and intended use (chips, powder, or oil) up front speeds up the indicative quote. Message WhatsApp 6281128590000 or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com to start.
Is Bali a source of gaharu, or just a trading hub?
No public source names Bali as a production origin. Documented supply regions include Kalimantan, Papua (Jayapura, Merauke), Ambon, and Sumbawa; Bali’s role is trade and export coordination, not growing. The desk sources from those documented regions and handles export from Bali. Ask which region suits your grade on WhatsApp 6281128590000.
