**QC inspection in Bali costs a flat fee per man-day — USD 135, about IDR 2,200,000 as of 2026 — for one inspector, one working day, including a 100+ photo report delivered within 48 hours. Bali runs on the same national rate card as Java and Jakarta; only real travel time to remote workshops is billed on top.**
Bali is where a lot of furniture, homeware and garment buyers get their first quote and their first shock, because most quality-control providers price by the hour, bury travel fees, and only reveal the total after your goods are already on a truck. We publish the number first.
What does a QC inspection in Bali actually cost?
One rate card, date-stamped as of 2026, same whether the inspector stands in a Canggu homeware studio or a Gianyar carving village:
| Service | Scope | Duration | Flat fee (as of 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product inspection (pre-shipment, DUPRO or final random) | One inspector, one factory or workshop | 1 man-day | USD 135 / IDR 2,200,000 |
| Container loading check | Supervise loading, count and sealing | 1 man-day | USD 135 / IDR 2,200,000 |
| Pre-production inspection | Raw materials and factory readiness | 1 man-day | USD 135 / IDR 2,200,000 |
| Factory / compliance audit | Full facility walkthrough | 1–2 man-days | USD 135 (about IDR 2,190,000) per man-day, indicative as of 2026, |
| Small-batch / handicraft mini-check | Single supplier, low SKU count | Half man-day | USD 85 / IDR 1,390,000 |
Every line is a flat fee. No hourly meter, no separate “report writing” surcharge. The 100+ photo report and the pass or fail call against your agreed AQL level are inside the man-day, not extras.
These are private, contractual inspections — the commercial quality check you commission as the buyer. They are not the government-mandated pre-shipment verification (PSI) that KSO Sucofindo–Surveyor Indonesia runs for goods imported into Indonesia. We are an independent inspection desk, not an accredited surveyor and not a certification body. What you buy is evidence you can act on before you release your supplier’s balance.
Is Bali more expensive than Java or Jakarta?
No. The man-day rate is the same USD 135 whether the inspector is in a Jepara furniture factory, a Bandung garment line, or a Seminyak studio. Bali sits on the same national rate card as the rest of our Indonesia coverage. The country treats it as Provinsi Bali, capital Denpasar, under the same national trade and customs rules — there is no separate provincial customs regime and no island premium baked into the fee.
What can differ is travel. Bali’s producers sit across craft belts: Gianyar and Bangli for wood and stone, Tabanan and Klungkung for textiles and rattan, and reaching a north-Bali or Bukit workshop can eat half a day. We handle that in the open.
| Location | Travel treatment |
|---|---|
| Denpasar, Kuta, Sanur, Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud | Included, no surcharge |
| Gianyar, Bangli, Tabanan, Klungkung craft belts | Included, same-day reach |
| North Bali (Singaraja), Bukit / Uluwatu | Half-day travel add-on |
| Off-island (Java, Lombok, Sumbawa) | Quoted per trip |
Anything inside greater Denpasar and the main tourist zones carries no travel surcharge at all.
How is small-batch and handicraft pricing handled?
Bali runs on small, artisan orders — 200 rattan bags, a container of teak stools, a single pallet of ceramics. Paying a full man-day for a two-hour check makes no sense, so there is a half-day mini-check at USD 85, about IDR 1,390,000 as of 2026, for a single supplier with a low SKU count. It uses the same photo-first method, scaled to the order.
For buyers consolidating several small workshops in one area, we group them into a single man-day where geography allows. You split one flat fee across two or three suppliers instead of paying three times.
What changes your final quote?
Three things, all disclosed before you book:
- Number of man-days — driven by SKU count, quantity, and how many suppliers or checkpoints you need in one trip.
- Location — included across greater Denpasar and the main craft belts; a half-day add-on for north Bali, the Bukit, or off-island.
- Timing — Bali’s dry season runs roughly April to October and the rainy season November to March, with tourist peaks in July–August and late December to early January. Peaks do not raise the fee, but they stretch inspector booking lead times, so book earlier.
How booking works
- Send your enquiry. Message the trade desk with supplier location, product type, SKU count and target ship date. You get a flat-fee quote back within 24 business hours.
- Confirm scope and date. Choose the inspection stage, AQL level and man-days. The flat fee is confirmed in writing before anyone travels.
- Inspection day. The inspector works your checklist on site and photographs everything — defects, cartons, loading, labels.
- Report within 48 hours. You receive a 100+ photo report with a clear pass or fail against your AQL and every defect logged.
- Ship or hold. You make the call with evidence in hand, not after the container lands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a one-day QC inspection in Bali cost?
A single man-day is a flat USD 135, roughly IDR 2,200,000 as of 2026, subject to change. That covers one inspector for one working day at a Bali workshop or factory, the full checklist against your AQL level, and a 100+ photo report delivered within 48 hours. No hourly meter and no separate report fee.
Are Bali inspection rates higher than Jakarta or Surabaya?
No. The published man-day rate is the same USD 135 in Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya or Jepara. Bali is Provinsi Bali under the same national customs rules, with no island premium. The only Bali-specific line is genuine travel time to remote craft villages, and that is quoted openly before you confirm the booking.
Is there a minimum charge for a small handicraft order?
Yes, but it is kept small. A single-supplier, low-SKU handicraft check runs as a half-day mini-check at USD 85, about IDR 1,390,000 as of 2026. It uses the same photo-first method scaled to the order. Consolidating several nearby workshops into one man-day often lowers your per-supplier cost further.
Do you charge travel fees for inspections outside Denpasar?
Denpasar, Kuta, Sanur, Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud carry no travel surcharge. The Gianyar, Bangli, Tabanan and Klungkung craft belts are covered within the same day. North Bali, the Bukit peninsula or off-island trips add a disclosed half-day or per-trip fee. You always see the travel line before booking.
Does peak tourist season change the price or lead time?
The fee does not change with season, but lead time does. Bali’s tourist peaks in July–August and late December to early January stretch inspector availability, and the rainy season from November to March can affect site access. Book a week or two ahead during peaks to lock your inspection date.
