This HS classification covers industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, specifically stearic acid. The duty breakdown includes an MFN rate of 5.00%, VAT at 12% (applied on 11/12 of the taxable base), and PPH rates of 2.50% for API and 7.50% for NON-API. No special permits are required for this classification. With an MFN rate above 0%, FTAs are available. Commercial imports require a licensed consignee (Importer of Record).
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.
