Takeaways

• 😀 The Online Single Submission (OSS) system in Indonesia simplifies the process for obtaining business permits and helps avoid illegal fees. Entrepreneurs only need to register for a business identification number (NIB) to begin importing.
• 😀 The NIB also serves as a company registration, customs access, and includes important company data. Ensure you register as an importer and have access to customs during the NIB registration process.
• 😀 You can import goods without an NIB for small quantities, but for large shipments or container imports, an NIB is mandatory. Only in emergency situations and with customs approval can exceptions be made.
• 😀 Important import terms like FOB (Free On Board), CFR (Cost and Freight), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) define when the supplier's responsibility ends and the buyer's begins.
• 😀 Always review contracts carefully to understand which party is responsible for shipping costs, insurance, and other fees.
• 😀 Before importing, check whether the goods you want to import are allowed into Indonesia. Certain goods, like used clothes, are prohibited, while others may require special treatment like quarantine.
• 😀 Payment methods for imports can include bank transfers, credit cards, and letters of credit (LC). An LC is the safest option for both parties in large transactions.
• 😀 When arranging for shipment, work with an experienced freight forwarder to ensure smooth logistics, customs processing, and insurance coverage.
• 😀 Shipment methods include sea, air, and land transport. Sea freight is ideal for large or bulk items, air freight is faster for smaller or perishable items, and land freight is combined with sea or air transport in Indonesia's archipelago.
• 😀 Insurance is crucial when importing large shipments. It helps cover risks such as fire, explosion, sinking, and damage caused by weather or sea conditions.
• 😀 Important documents for importing include a packing list, commercial invoice, bill of lading (for sea shipments), and air waybill (for air shipments). These documents are necessary for customs clearance and to retrieve goods at the destination port.

Q & A

What is the Online Single Submission (OSS) system in Indonesia?

The Online Single Submission (OSS) system in Indonesia, implemented in 2018, allows businesses to complete various licensing processes online. It simplifies the process and reduces the risk of illegal fees. The system eliminates the need for an Importer Identification Number (API) and a Customs Identification Number (NIK), instead using a Business Identification Number (NIB) for importers.

Do I need an NIB to import goods into Indonesia?

Yes, if you're importing goods in large quantities or using a container, you need an NIB. It acts as the primary import license. Importing small quantities from platforms like AliExpress for personal use does not require an NIB, but this is typically limited to small, one-time imports.

What are the key terms in import contracts that I need to understand?

Key terms include FOB (Free On Board), CFR (Cost and Freight), CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), and FAS (Free Alongside Ship). These terms define the responsibilities and costs related to shipping, including who covers the costs of transportation, insurance, and customs duties.

What is the difference between FOB, CFR, and CIF?

FOB (Free On Board) means the seller is responsible for costs until the goods are on the ship. CFR (Cost and Freight) means the seller covers costs until the goods reach the destination port. CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) includes both the transportation costs and insurance up to the destination port.

Can I import goods into Indonesia if they require special treatment or documents?

Yes, but you need to check whether the goods require special treatment, such as quarantine or additional documentation. Always verify the latest government regulations, as these rules can change based on market conditions.

How should I make payments for imports to ensure safety?

The safest payment method is through a Letter of Credit (L/C), which involves using a bank as an intermediary. The bank releases the payment only after confirming that the goods have been shipped, ensuring security for both the importer and the supplier.

What are the recommended shipping methods for imported goods?

There are three main shipping methods: sea freight, air freight, and land transportation. Sea freight is ideal for large quantities, while air freight is faster and suited for smaller, time-sensitive shipments. Land transport is typically used in combination with sea or air freight, especially for intra-country delivery.

Should I insure my imported goods, and why?

Yes, insuring your goods is highly recommended. In the case of damage, theft, or loss during shipping, the insurance will cover the costs. If goods are shipped via sea freight, insurance is especially important to cover risks like fires, explosions, and weather-related damages.

What documents are needed to clear customs and receive imported goods?

Important documents include a packing list (detailing the items, their quantities, and weight), a commercial invoice (stating the value of the goods), a bill of lading (for sea shipments), or an Air Waybill (for air shipments), and a certificate of origin (COO). These documents are required to complete customs procedures.

What is the process for clearing customs once my goods arrive in Indonesia?

Once your goods arrive, the customs authority will check whether all import duties and taxes have been paid. If everything is in order, the goods will be released. If you use a door-to-door service, the logistics company can assist in clearing customs for you.
