Our Solutions

Process & Requirements

Commercial importing to Bali starts with our pre-shipment advisory service. We review your product specifications, verify HS code classifications, calculate total landed costs including all duties and taxes, and identify any LARTAS requirements. This upfront analysis prevents costly surprises and ensures all permits are in place before your goods ship from the origin country.

Our PPJK-licensed brokers submit PIB declarations electronically and monitor clearance progress in real-time. We maintain direct communication with customs officers at Ngurah Rai and Benoa Port to resolve any queries quickly. For clients with regular import volumes, we establish standard operating procedures that streamline recurring shipments and reduce clearance times.

We also provide duty optimization consulting to minimize your import costs legally. This includes utilizing preferential tariff rates under Indonesia’s free trade agreements (ASEAN, AANZFTA, CEPA), applying for KITE duty exemption facilities for export-oriented manufacturers, and structuring imports through bonded zones when applicable. Our goal is to reduce your total landed cost while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What licenses do I need for commercial imports?

You need a NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha) as your basic business license, API-U (general importer) or API-P (producer importer) identification, and possibly product-specific permits like SNI, BPOM, or halal certification depending on your goods. We can arrange undername import if you lack these licenses.

How can I reduce import duties legally?

Options include utilizing Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with proper Certificate of Origin, applying for KITE facilities for export-oriented production, importing through bonded zones for duty deferral, and ensuring accurate HS code classification to avoid higher duty brackets.

What is the minimum order for commercial import?

There is no minimum order value for commercial imports, but the economics of customs clearance fees make very small shipments relatively expensive per unit. We recommend consolidating orders where possible and can advise on optimal shipment sizing for your business.

Can you handle imports for companies without an Indonesian entity?

Yes. Through our undername import service, foreign companies and individuals can import goods using our licensed facilities. We act as the importer of record, managing all customs formalities while you maintain commercial control of your goods.
