Thousands HS code will cover all products or goods in the world. One goods has different customs tariff, duty tariff, from another. Sometimes one goods has different rule from another, that is caused taking different treatment in customs process to. Or there is a goods has to be inspected when it will be sent to Indonesia. Some of goods need certain document for clearance process.

Many changes has happened last years here, in Indonesia. In some cases, companies did not know a rule has launched, then when their goods came to Indonesia, they were headache because of it, and of course some extra charges will be arise. All that happened because of they didn't check firstly the rule to their importation.

On be half of government, actually has made a website for public information, it's called INSW, Indonesia Nasional Single Window. Through this website, everyone can check the HS code, duty, and the rule to each HS code or goods. Government also splits the rule for export and import.

So that the first I should do when I will handle an importation to Indonesia, is drive myself to visit www.eservice.insw.go.id, from that site I know what I have to do all.

For you, may be a shipper from broad, you may check easily by visiting that website, checking the rule to the goods based on HS code you have. Or maybe you only want to find the HS code for your goods.

Customs has recommended INSW as reference for all company in Indonesia, so that we all, in Indonesia, have the same knowledge and information regarding customs and clearance process.

If You Bring Clothes to Indonesia During Your Holiday

If you are one of who want to visit to Indonesia, to Bali, for instance, or to another place in Indonesia. May be you want bringing some clothes as a gift. I would like to inform you that there is certain rule for clothes that is brought by passenger. Trade Ministry of Indonesia has launched a regulation related to.

This regulation has been applied since early November 2015 and will be ended on end of 2018. On these rule they mentioned the list product that should takes special treatment when shipper will ship it to Indonesia, bring by visitor. The regulation is under no. 18/M-DAG/10/2015

They called these product list Certain Product.

One of the goods is clothes, such as sweater. Like I have posted Export Clothes to Indonesia Free License?, this is using the same regulation with. I want to inform you regarding the exception for the clothes that you bring during your traveling to Indonesia. I meant, if you want to take some apparels to Indonesia and avoiding the certain treatment, then the maximum value of  all the apparels you bring is $1000.

It doesn't matter to the quantity you want to bring. You have to concern to the total value of the clothes.

Basically, clothes is needed inspection at origin prior to ship to Indonesia.
 
Be aware! Many rules updated in Indonesia, you have to check your shipment or your package before sending or bring to Indonesia.

The next posting, I want to tell about "how to ship or bring an electronic goods to Indonesia".
