DPS - SeaportBenoa
I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), south of Denpasar, is Bali's airport and one of Indonesia's busiest international gateways, with frequent passenger flights carrying belly cargo to Asia, Australia and the Middle East. This makes air freight the main export mode for Bali's craft and furniture producers. Sea freight runs through Benoa Port, though many containers for Bali are routed via Tanjung Perak in Surabaya and moved to the island by road and ferry.
The Bali Mandara toll road crosses Benoa Bay and links the airport area with Nusa Dua and Benoa Port. Main roads connect Denpasar with Ubud, Gianyar and the craft villages, and with Gilimanuk in the west, from where ferries cross to Ketapang in East Java. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Bali, including the craft centres around Ubud and Gianyar.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fly crafts and furniture from Bali directly to Europe or the US?
Yes, many shipments fly from DPS on our own air waybill via Asian or Middle Eastern hubs. Furniture and large orders often go cheaper by sea. We compare both options for each order.
Do wooden products from Bali need special treatment for export?
Wooden products often need fumigation and phytosanitary certificates for the destination, and some woods need proof of legal origin. We check the requirements before booking and coordinate the documents with the export declaration.
Can you send silver jewellery from Bali securely?
Yes. High-value items can go as air freight with secure handling, or with an On-Board Courier who keeps them in hand all the way. We advise on insurance and documents before booking.

Send us the origin, destination, goods description, weight and dimensions. Our operations desk replies with a routing via Ngurah Rai (DPS) and an itemised quote.
