Customs
Indonesia has a very low de minimis threshold — just 3 USD (~3 EUR). Virtually every shipment is subject to customs clearance. Customs duty ranges from 0 to 150% by goods category, and PPN (Indonesian VAT) is 11%. Shipments above 1,500 USD require a formal customs declaration (PIB). The customs process in Indonesia is complex and time-consuming — allow 5–10 days for clearance in Jakarta.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
- Commercial invoice
- Invoice (mandatory, detailed description in English or Indonesian)
- PIB (formal customs declaration) for shipments above 1,500 USD
- BPOM permit for cosmetics, medicines, and food
