Filing the Indonesian Customs Declaration – PIB (Pemberitahuan Impor Barang)
The Pemberitahuan Impor Barang (PIB) is the document required for customs clearance in Indonesia. Your IOR will prepare and submit the PIB to the customs office, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Details Required in the PIB :
- Importer and exporter information
- Description of goods, including HS codes
- Value of the goods and currency used
- Country of origin and destination
- Applicable customs duties and taxes
- Customs Check
Once the PIB is submitted, customs officials review the document for accuracy. They will calculate import duties based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of the goods and taxes based on the HS codes.
Depending on the type and value of the goods, customs officers may conduct a physical inspection to ensure compliance with declarations and regulations.
Payment of Duties and Taxes
After the assessment (customs check), you will receive a notification detailing the amount of duties and taxes owed. These duties and taxes must be paid before the goods can be released. Release of Goods Once you pay the duties and taxes, customs will issue an Order to Pick (Surat Persetujuan Pengeluaran Barang – SPPB), authorizing the release of the goods from the port or warehouse.
Final Delivery and Post-Clearance
The goods are then transported to their final destination Indonesian customs may conduct a post-clearance audit to verify the accuracy of the declarations and payments made. Your IOR keeps all records and documentation for a certain period (usually up to 10 years) in case of any future audits or reviews.
