Indonesia Customs and Regulatory Information

The Customs Office has tightened the rules for e-commerce imports as part of a concerted effort to protect local small businesses producing shoes, bags, textiles and clothes.

Any import shipment valued at $3 or more must now pay import tax – a much lower import tax-free threshold than the previous $75.

In addition, the government has also set a 15-20 percent import tax for bags, 25-30 percent for shoes and 15-25 percent for textile products, depending on the countries where the items come from. Those taxes will be charged on top of a value-added tax of 10 percent and a deductible income tax of 7.5-10 percent, making the total taxes that need to be paid when importing significantly higher.

The government at the same time has also lowered the import tax for other products impacted by the lower threshold policy. Items aside from shoes, bags and clothes are now charged a 7.5 percent import tax, a 10 percent value-added tax and 0 percent deductible income tax.

Please ensure that you are aware of the latest government regulations prior to completing your order.

Please note that If you would like to return your purchase, refunds will be processed accordingly once we confirmed its return and you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs. If you receive a refund, the shipping costs will be deducted from your refund.
