Appliances Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Bali

Yes, you can ship electronics internationally, but it requires careful attention to lithium batteries, specific carrier rules (like DHL, FedEx, USPS), proper packing ( fragile ), accurate customs forms, and potentially voltage/plug adapters for the destination country. The main challenge is lithium batteries, which are considered hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and have strict air transport rules, sometimes requiring ground shipping or specific labeling.

Shipping from Turkey to the USA varies widely by speed and weight, from around $13-$20 for small parcels (1-2kg) via express to much less per kg for large air cargo ($3.25-$3.5/kg over 250kg), with sea freight being cheapest but slowest (weeks). Expect costs for typical e-commerce packages (1-10kg) to range from $10-$100+, while heavier or bulk items use freight, with express options like DHL/FedEx costing more but delivering in days, versus slower postal services or sea freight.

You don't need to ship a whole container btw, you can send sea mail (post office) which takes about 2 months or so, but still goes thru customs office. In many cases it's better to just bring your stuff over little by little as accompanied luggage as customs will be less strict and possibly no inspection.
