Summary

In this video, the concept of Pusat Logistik Berikat (PLB), or Bonded Logistics Centers, is explained. PLBs are designed by Indonesian Customs for storing import and export goods, with benefits including faster clearance processes, efficient storage, and cost savings. PLBs support industries by reducing delays at ports, facilitating supply chain efficiency, and providing businesses with a way to delay customs duties until goods are needed. The discussion also covers the various types of PLBs, their role in managing inventory, and how they help with cash flow management for companies. Overall, PLBs play a vital role in Indonesia's logistics and industrial sectors.

Takeaways

• 😀 PLB (Pusat Logistik Berikat) is a bonded logistics center designed by Customs for storing imported and exported goods under Customs supervision.
• 😀 PLB can store goods for up to 3 years and allows simple processes like repacking and relabeling.
• 😀 The main purpose of PLB is to support industries by facilitating smoother supply chains, especially for raw materials and capital goods.
• 😀 Prior to PLBs, many raw materials were stored abroad, especially in Singapore and Malaysia, which led to inefficiencies in the Indonesian supply chain.
• 😀 PLB was introduced in 2016 with just one type, but by 2018, it expanded to eight types, including PLB for large industries, SMEs, e-commerce, and commodity goods.
• 😀 PLBs improve supply chain efficiency by speeding up the clearance process at ports and reducing congestion, especially in seaports.
• 😀 PLBs allow faster importation by moving goods from ports to the logistics center with minimal delays, often within 1 day after ship arrival.
• 😀 The PLB system helps minimize the cost of storage at ports by quickly moving goods to bonded warehouses, avoiding extra storage fees.
• 😀 PLBs are advantageous for managing cash flow as Customs duties can be paid incrementally based on goods released from the warehouse.
• 😀 For businesses, PLB offers a cost-effective solution, especially for industries that need to manage large volumes of goods, reducing upfront customs duties and taxes.

Q & A

What is PLB (Pusat Logistik Berikat)?

PLB, or Pusat Logistik Berikat, is a bonded logistics center designed by Indonesian Customs for the storage of imported and exported goods. It allows for the temporary storage of goods without the need for customs clearance, thus facilitating a smoother logistics process.

Why was PLB created, and how does it support industries?

PLB was created to support the smooth flow of the supply chain, especially for industries in Indonesia. Before PLB, many raw materials and other industrial goods were stored overseas. PLB brings these goods into Indonesia for easier access and efficiency in processing and distribution.

What types of goods are typically stored in a PLB?

PLB typically stores imported goods such as raw materials, auxiliary materials, and industrial capital goods, which are used by industries in Indonesia for further processing or manufacturing.

How does the PLB system help reduce the cost and time associated with logistics?

By transferring goods to PLBs directly from the port, without the need for customs clearance at the terminal, the system reduces delays and additional costs, such as storage fees. This accelerates the processing time and prevents congestion at ports.

What are the different types of PLBs, and which one is used for large industries?

PLB types have evolved over time, with the system now offering various categories. For large industries, the PLB category used is the 'PLB Industrial' type, which is specifically designed for industrial-scale operations, including those involved in raw material and finished goods processing.

How does PLB help industries in managing their cash flow?

PLB helps industries manage cash flow by allowing them to pay import duties and taxes only for the goods that are actually taken out of the PLB, instead of paying for all goods at once. This ensures a more manageable and efficient financial flow for companies.

What was the main issue in logistics before the introduction of PLB?

Before PLB, one of the major issues in logistics was the accumulation of goods at the ports, leading to congestion and high storage costs. The delay in customs clearance at ports also created bottlenecks, which PLB now helps to alleviate.

How does PLB contribute to reducing port congestion?

PLB contributes to reducing port congestion by allowing goods to be moved directly from the port to the PLB for storage, bypassing the need for customs clearance at the terminal. This prevents delays and frees up space at the port, accelerating overall logistics processes.

What are the operational advantages of using PLB for industries?

PLB offers operational advantages such as reduced time for customs clearance, lower storage costs, and increased flexibility in managing inventory. Industries can clear goods from the PLB as needed, which reduces excess costs and improves overall efficiency.

Can PLB be used by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)?

Yes, PLB can be used by SMEs. There are specific PLB categories designed to support smaller businesses, ensuring they can also benefit from the cost efficiencies and operational advantages of PLB, such as the PLB UKM (Small and Medium Enterprises) type.
