What is the import duty for HS 38159000?

Import duty for HS 38159000 is 5% MFN, plus PPN (VAT) of 12% and PPh Pasal 22 of 2.5% (API holder) or 7.5% (non-API). Free Trade Agreement preferential rates may further reduce the MFN rate.

Does HS 38159000 require an import licence (Lartas)?

HS 38159000 is not currently on Indonesia's Lartas restricted-goods list, so no sector-specific import permit is required beyond the standard customs filing.

Can a foreign company import HS 38159000 without an Indonesian entity?

Yes. Indonesia requires the importer of record (IOR) to hold an API licence; foreign companies typically use a third-party IOR service like Kickrate to import without setting up a PT PMA entity. The IOR holds the API licence, files customs documents, and settles duty — you stay the owner of the merchandise.

What documents are required to import HS 38159000?

For standard commercial imports of HS 38159000, the primary document filed is BC 2.0 (Pemberitahuan Impor Barang / PIB) via the CEISA system, supported by a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin (when claiming FTA preference), and a Lartas import licence (when applicable). The IOR assembles and files this package.
