How to clear customs in Indonesia by air and sea?

Indonesia, the country with the most difficult customs clearance in the world, is not one of them. Obviously, Indonesian Customs has strict requirements, and the examination of customs clearance documents is becoming more and more strict, so customs clearance documents should be operated in strict accordance with Indonesian Customs requirements. Understand Indonesia's import and export process and matters needing attention from three aspects: import and export process, relevant policies and certificate of origin inspection.

Indonesia's import product process

Indonesia's Ministry of Trade is in charge of the import of products from Indonesia, and is responsible for the implementation of laws and regulations related to the terms of import licenses. According to the most basic regulations, in order to import products in Indonesia, the required documents must be submitted and reviewed by the General Administration of Customs, and the products may be inspected. In addition, the importer must fill in the import declaration form of all imported products and declare it to the customs. Importers must also apply to the General Administration of Customs for a customs identification number (NIK) to comply with various customs regulations; In addition, before importing products, you must apply for an import license from the Ministry of Trade or the Investment Coordination Bureau (BKPM). Most industries in Indonesia have industry standards. Indonesian National Standards (SNI) is a national standard formulated by Indonesian National Bureau of Standards and approved by National Audit Committee. All controlled products exported to Indonesia must be marked with SNI, otherwise they cannot enter the Indonesian market. At present, the scope of standardized products is divided into four categories: household electronic products, telecommunications and IT equipment (46 items in total); Building materials (***8 items); Automotive material parts (***24 products); Other commodities (such as shoes, leather products, toys, clothes and other ***25 products). The commodity labeling regulations are issued by the Ministry of Trade. All imported consumer goods must be marked with the import agent, and the product labels must be written or printed clearly in Indonesian, Arabic numerals and Latin letters. Unless there are no matching words in Indonesian, or goods are exported, businesses must use Indonesian local languages, numbers and letters. Food, beverages, ceramics, glassware, household goods, textiles, soap, etc. must be shipped in the original packaging of the manufacturer, and packaged separately according to the type, performance and trademark of the goods. The original packaging should clearly indicate the type, quantity, weight and trademark of the goods. In addition, we should also consider the climate in Indonesia, paying special attention to waterproof and rust prevention.

Matters needing attention

Exporter:

Indonesian customs does not accept third-party documents, and customs clearance information is provided by an exporter. Exporters of bills of lading, packing lists and invoices need to be consistent with Form E, unless offshore companies are used to make bills of lading invoices, and then form E of third-party invoices is made. The offshore companies are shown in the description of Form E, and the third-party invoices are ticked in the thirteenth column.

Standard of origin:

E the origin standard in the eighth column of the table cannot be filled in completely domestic: WO, and the percentage must be displayed.

Transportation route:

It's easy to go to Indonesia by direct boat. If transshipment is required, the transshipment goods shall be certified by the customs at the transshipment place. All goods stopped or transshipped in Hong Kong must be stamped with a non-reprocessing certificate by Hong Kong Customs or Hong Kong China Inspection Company.

Manufacturer:

Article 5 of the endorsement of Form E (ASEAN Certificate) stipulates that the manufacturer's name of the product needs to be declared under the closing symbol after the description column of the goods. At present, Indonesian customs is strict with the content.

description of goods

Due to the different understanding of the rules of origin signed between Indonesia and China, Indonesian Customs thinks that it is necessary to indicate the detailed information such as the model and manufacturer name of each product in the product name description column, while other types of certificates of origin issued by China rarely have such requirements, which brings a lot of inconvenience to enterprise visas. So it should be noted that the product name should be detailed and vague. At the time of declaration, the items on the packing list and invoice provided to foreign customers for customs declaration should be listed one by one, and the name of the manufacturer should be entered in the goods description column. For example, machine, clothes, goods and clothes are all general expressions!

transportation route

Before the goods are shipped, the reporting enterprise shall communicate with the freight forwarder in time to verify the transportation route. Some shipping companies didn't tell them it was transshipment. Now, even if they transship from a third place, the shipping companies don't provide two-way bills of lading, but only through bills of lading. Enterprises don't know the transshipment information and can't provide relevant certificates to the customs of the importing country, which leads to the withdrawal of certificates. If the enterprise reasonably transshippes from Hong Kong, it shall truthfully declare to the Hong Kong Inspection Company and apply for a certificate of non-reprocessing, and submit Form E and materials at the same time when reporting to Indonesian Customs. Or, when booking the shipping space, the enterprise directly explained to the shipping company that it only booked ships that went straight to Indonesia without transshipment. According to the shipping company, the cost of booking shipping space is about 65,438+00% higher than that of transshipment, but this can ensure the implementation of the certificate of origin tariff preference.

origin criterion

The origin of the goods shall be truthfully declared, and all products in a batch of goods must meet the origin standards respectively. If a batch of goods contains similar goods or spare parts of different specifications, each product must meet the standard of origin.

Invoice information

Invoice information should be accurate, especially check the invoice number and date. Don't blindly follow the customer's requirements, and don't blindly follow the customer to keep the invoice amount low! Don't blindly follow the guests to make invoices with low amount! Don't blindly follow the guests to make invoices with low amount!

Intermediary trade involving a third country must be truthfully filled in and cleared by a third-party invoice. First, fill in the number and date of the third-party invoice as required, and indicate the name and detailed address of the third-party company outside Chinese mainland in the seventh column. In addition, the "Third Party Invoice" option should be checked.

Marks and numbers statement

The information on the shipping mark shall be completely consistent with the shipping mark on the actual outer packaging of the goods, and the words made outside China or countries and the words of origin of Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province shall not appear. If there is no marks and numbers, enter "n/m". If there is a special pattern on the shipping mark, it shall be printed on A4 paper, and the number, declaration and visa date of Shanghai Stock Exchange shall be marked in the corresponding position, and the official seal of the enterprise shall be affixed as an attachment.

Certificate of origin information file

The original certificate of Form E shall be submitted to the customs of the importing country, and the relevant materials shall be kept for at least 3 years. If there is a card withdrawal inquiry, we should actively cooperate with the visa agency to investigate. In addition, it is suggested to choose Indonesian customers with strong strength and good reputation, strengthen communication with customers, and obtain relevant policy requirements of Indonesian customs in multiple ways; Products exported to Indonesia should sign FOB price as far as possible to avoid the risk of customs clearance in Indonesia.
