Procedures for Importing Goods into Indonesia from European Countries

Foreign companies or individuals may find that the import regulations in Indonesia are always changing, causing them headaches while importing goods into Indonesia. For instance, delayed shipment, goods being stuck at the customs, and penalty due to non-compliance.

Import compliance is vital when foreigners want to do business in Indonesia and violation may often bring serious consequences to the reputation and finance of companies.

Importing goods into Indonesia will first require foreigners to set up a limited liability company in the country.

Once the import company is established, foreigners will have to obtain an import license through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which was recently implemented to streamline the business incorporation process.

The entire process of setting up an import company and securing the relevant license will take approximately 5 months, or even longer, putting many new foreign investors on the fence if they want to do business in Indonesia.

Here’s the way that can solve this issue though – engaging with a legal undername importer service in Indonesia. With it, importing goods into Indonesia can be done without registering a company and obtaining an import license on your own.
