Bea Masuk (BM MFN)
Applied on the CIF value of goods. This is the base customs duty set by Indonesia Ministry of Finance. May be reduced to 0% under a Free Trade Agreement.
Pajak Pertambahan Nilai (PPN)
Applied on the taxable base (CIF + import duty). Indonesia uses a special calculation: the tax base is adjusted to 11/12 of the import value before applying the 12% rate.
Pajak Penghasilan (PPH)
Advance income tax collected at import. Rate depends on whether the importer holds an API license: 2.5% with license, 7.5% without. Using an Importer of Record qualifies for the lower rate.
