Customs Regulations in Indonesia

If all the above are not provided, heavy duties, penalties and demurrage will apply.

Customer must be in country for clearance. All the shipments are 100% inspected. For expatriates, household goods must have been in customer's possession and use for at least one full year, and be for the Customer's continued private use in Indonesia (not for resale). Just one air and one sea shipment of household goods allowed duty-free. All the shipments must arrive within three months of date of issuance of KITAS Card.

The dutiable/restricted items are as follows: only one of each major appliance is allowed duty-free with the exception of air conditioners; new articles and items not listed on inventory; material in Chinese (pictures, tapes, etc.) will require proper permits and is subject to censorship and confiscation; medicines (prescription required); cosmetics; antiques (may have problems re-exporting); large quantities of any type of product will slow clearance and result in high duty.

Here is the list of prohibited items: explosives, weapons, firearms, and ammunition; narcotics and drugs of various kinds; alcoholic beverages; video tapes laser discs and books are subject to censorship. Prepare a list of titles and authors; animal skins; pornographic and politically sensitive literature; foodstuff; cordless telephones. The presence of any dutiable/restricted/prohibited items in shipment will greatly delay clearance and increase charges considerably.
