Start with the goods, not a generic permit list<\/h2>\n

Import requirements depend on classification, specifications, origin, whether goods are new or used, and their intended use. Similar-looking goods may have different HS codes and requirements. Check prohibitions and restrictions (lartas) before agreeing shipment so that documentation is not left until arrival.<\/p>\n

Importer status and API functions<\/h2>\n

Align the deed, NPWP, NIB, KBLI and customs access with the company\u2019s activities. An NIB can function as an Importer Identification Number (API) and customs access under the applicable rules. Check the status and scope recorded in the systems; holding an NIB does not remove commodity requirements.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Type<\/th>\nMain purpose<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
API-U<\/td>\nImporting goods for trade or transfer under the applicable rules.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
API-P<\/td>\nImporting goods for the importer\u2019s own production, subject to applicable restrictions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

HS codes, import approvals and surveyor reports<\/h2>\n

HS classification requires consideration of materials, function, composition and technical characteristics. Use INSW and the relevant authorities\u2019 rules to check restrictions. Import Approval (PI) and a Surveyor Report (LS) are required only for regulated goods, not all imports or every item in an industry group.<\/p>\n

Surveyor inspection timing and documents required before shipment follow commodity-specific rules. Do not assume that new and used goods follow the same approval route.<\/p>\n

Shipping documents and sector approvals<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, contract and origin documents where relevant.<\/li>\n
  • PI, LS, marketing authorisations, certificates or technical documents required for the particular goods.<\/li>\n
  • Import Declaration (PIB) and supporting customs documents under the applicable procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Food, cosmetics and medicines require checks against BPOM and product import rules. Medical devices, products subject to mandatory SNI, chemicals, and animal or plant products have their own sector requirements. General trading authorisation does not replace product or quarantine approvals.<\/p>\n

    Costs, risks and workflow<\/h2>\n

    Once classification and approvals are checked, arrange shipment, lodge the PIB and meet customs obligations before release. Duties and taxes depend on classification, customs value, origin and valid facilities. Discrepancies may lead to inspections, storage costs, delays or sanctions; no single rate or release time applies to every shipment.<\/p>\n

    Import planning checklist<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Record the product name, composition, specifications, provisional HS code, origin and condition.<\/li>\n
    • Prepare quantities, value, intended use, shipment date and available supplier documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Dokumen yang perlu konsisten sebelum barang dikirim<\/h2>\n

      Persyaratan tambahan menurut kelompok barang<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Pangan, kosmetik dan obat: periksa jalur BPOM, pihak yang berhak mendaftar, izin edar\/notifikasi serta SKI sesuai kategori.<\/li>\n
      • Alat kesehatan: gunakan jalur kementerian kesehatan; jangan menyamakannya dengan izin pangan BPOM.<\/li>\n
      • Bahan kimia: identifikasi karakteristik B2\/B3 dan ketentuan teknis, pemasukan serta penyimpanannya.<\/li>\n
      • Besi, baja, tekstil dan mesin: uji HS serta aturan komoditas; kondisi bekas memerlukan pemeriksaan khusus.<\/li>\n
      • Produk hewan atau tumbuhan: periksa kewajiban karantina dan persetujuan teknis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Pembaruan aturan dan risiko pengiriman<\/h2>\n

        Permendag 16\/2025 telah diubah melalui Permendag 37\/2025. Periksa naskah perubahan serta aturan komoditas melalui JDIH Kemendag dan INSW pada saat rencana impor. Tidak semua barang dengan nama dagang yang sama memiliki HS atau persyaratan yang sama.<\/p>\n

        Biaya tidak hanya berupa bea masuk: perhatikan pajak impor, kemungkinan tarif preferensi, biaya pemeriksaan, penumpukan dan demurrage. Persetujuan sebelum pengapalan perlu diselesaikan bila aturan barang mensyaratkannya.<\/p>\n
