About Indonesia Foreign Trade Market

Foreign trade and freight forwarders who have worked in the Indonesian market know that customs clearance in Indonesia can be considered the 

most difficult in the world, in addition to the requirements for FORM E 

are particularly stringent, and if you do not get it right, you will be refunded and fined!

The Indonesian customs authorities take measures such as suspending preferential tariff treatment, holding the goods, collecting security 

deposits or levying taxes on goods that have been returned to them, 

and then refunding or otherwise processing them according to their 

megállapításokat. 

This, coupled with irregularities such as non-refund of deposits by the Indonesian side, has resulted in serious damage to the interests of enterprises.

About half of the certificates returned by Indonesian Customs were 

refunded with a deposit and tariff concessions, while the rest were 

subject to the usual tariffs and non-refundable deposits, some of which 

were even subject to fines several times the tariff. 

To avoid losses, some enterprises had to choose to forgo the FTA tariff concessions.
